Teddy Tours Dodd Fell

Earby – Thornton – Rylstone – Cracoe – Threshfield – Kilnsey – Kettlewell – Starbotton – Buckden – Hubberholme – Oughtershaw – North gate – Kidhow gate

had to open the road gate at North gate so took photo

opened Kidhow gate and drove through to park by the Pennine Way

looking across the PW to the Lake District

walked along until I found a gully going up in the right direction, which although still frozen, looked an easier climb

looking back down the gully

the views started to open up as I got higher

the Mk1 eyeball could see a white spot above, the camera had to zoom !

the plateau of Dodd Fell is enough to give you webbed feet after splodging across to the Trig point

with views to Penyghent with Pendle Hill in the background

 and looking down Wensleydale 

decided to just have a wine and go back to a dryer more sheltered spot for lunch

set off back down with a last look at the Trig point

back along the PW to the van, turned Garmin Off ! drove back to what I thought was a Lime Kiln on the way up turned Garmin back On ! So it drew a straight line between ??? It does say level disused on the map which on closer inspection it is (but it doe’s look like a kiln)

made a coffee but decided not to cook and made do with a Snicker and a Banana

while watching Morecambe bay light up

drove back down Langstroth Dale and stopped to photograph the Yockenthwaite stone circle at SD 899 794
