James Hughes hiked Dodd (Skiddaw) on May 16th, 2025 [from/via/route] c315 Carl Side & Dodd from Ravenstone Hotel [weather] Warm sunny but very windy on tops. - Second walk of the day. Path up bridleway from Ravenstone Hotel was steep & challenging - maybe difficult after rain. Steep climb all the way to Ullock Pike. Awesome views & then easy progress across ridge to Carl Side. Path down to White Stones steep & tricky. Descent to Dodd from Cairn also technical. Climb through forest up to Dodd Memorial delightful. Against AW advice descended on a path which was on OS Map through wood to rejoin summit path. Meander through Rabbit Warren back to Hotel. Pint of Corby Blonde.
Caroline Winter summited on March 2nd, 2025 [from/via/route] Ravonstonedale Manor hotel, track to Dodd, coffee shop at SawMills [with] Neil and Willow [weather] Drizzly. - Good views over Bassenthwaite. Neil scattered ashes of Shaker at top
