Richard Fulcher walked up High Hartsop Dodd on October 31st, 2024 [from/via/route] Parked in a layby near Caudale Bridge on the Kirkstone Pass. Walked down to the footbridge over Kirkstone Beck & then began the relentlessly steep ascent to the top of Middle Dodd. From there we followed an extremely boggy route across to the Red Screes-Scandale Pass path. We ascended the path on the opposite side of the Scandale Pass up to the tarn near Little Hart Crag, then followed another boggy path to the summit of Little Hart Crag. From there we descended to High Hartsop Dodd & then down the other side to the barn at the base of the fell. We then followed the path across the boulder strewn fields to Hartsop Hall & back to the car via Sykeside. [with] Jen [weather] Most of the walk over 1000 feet was in low cloud. This dispersed around 3pm to give a wonderful show of swirling clouds flowing over the fells, backlit be the sun. We even had 'Glory' & 'Brocken Spectre' - due the low sun piercing through the low cloud! The temperature varied between 14C at low levels to single figures on the tops … the wind also varied tremendously, at times blowing 30mph on the exposed sections for a while .. but still at ground level. - Great views when the low cloud dispersed.
