Sunday 15th May 2022 - Red Screes,Middle Dodd, Little Hart Crag & High Hartsop Dodd

We followed the path from the campsite all the way along the edge of Kirkstone Pass which was actually a really nice walk in itself although a little longer than we had expected! Once we reached the Kirkstone Inn we turned right away from the road and followed a steep but fairly straightforward path to the top of Red Screes - with just a couple of vertigo inducing moments on the way! From the cairn we dropped down and followed an easy path to Middle Dodd which took less than 10 minutes and has to be one of the easiest Wainwright's we've ever bagged!

We retraced our steps and followed a path to the right up Little Hart Crag before following the ridge to a tiny cairn on High Hartsop Dodd. From there it was a steep but short descent right back to Hartsop hall and the campsite at Sykeside farm. A beautiful days walk in glorious sunshine finished off with a very refreshing dip in Brotherswater to cool down at the endow the day. All in all a lovely day of walking with some beautiful views down the valley. 

These fells will forever stay in my memory as my beloved mum passed away later that day and as lovely as it was they will always be a bittersweet memory for me. Rest In Peace Eileen Lumb, I will always think of you when i'm out on the fells and hope you're watching over us every step of the way. 💜
