| Walk: | High Row, Old Coach Road, Clough Head, Great Dodd, Stybarrow Dodd, Hart Side, Birkett Fell | ||
| Start Point: | Dockray Bridge | Grid Reference: | NY 393 215 |
| Distance: | 13 miles | Ascent: | 2,900 feet |
| Time: | 6.5 hours | ||
| Weather: | Some sunny spells but intermittent heavy showers and rumbling thunder | ||
| Comments: | Very changeable weather meant that the camera was in and out of the bag and it was on and off with the waterproofs. None of the downpours lasted too long so didn't detract too much from the enjoyment of the walk. | ||
