Caroline Winter scaled Dodd Fell Hill on October 20th, 2018 [from/via/route] Kidhow gate [with] Shirley [weather] Good views & sunny spells from road & PW, westerly wind, poor visibility on Dodd Fell Hill - Why I found locating Kidhow gate & the route, goodness knows. Attempted 2 days before, but had approximated mileage along road, & parked at end.....too far! Dark now by 6.30pm, so to return another day. Next time, had worked out exact mileage. 3 Peaks challenge from Hawes taking place, so support vehicles confirmed we were at Kidhow gate. The access road had been recently tarmaced-possibly on 8th Oct, & the PW finger post had not been replaced. We set off, confident this time that keeping to the right of the wall, as suggested would lead to the top. After some time, I figured this couldn't be right, as compass showing East, rather than North direction. Worked out, the wall didn't start until over 100 M along the PW bridle path, so back tracked & sneaking over a supporting stone wall where the wire over the top had been lifted, onto the right route (many other boot prints & gap in the wire, so same stupid mistake as me). Once on the right route, it was straight forward to walk to the spot to take a bearing up the moorland to find the trig. Shirley left me to it, as struggling with blisters & steep ascents (first time on the Fells).

I was able to pick out most of the Yorkshire Dales 2000ers & could even make out The Howgills, Northern Pennines & The Eastern Lakeland skyline. A good one to start my new walking challenge with.
