Walk for Sunday 13th April - Dodds from Stannah

SUN 13TH THE DODDS FROM STANNAH
LEADER ANNE K 07729 903 852

Weather permitting, this should be a pleasant walk that is slightly off the beaten track. If time allows, and if anyone is interested, I may also incorporate Raise (a small detour; Helvellyn is also possible, though this involves a slightly bigger detour!).

From our starting point (Stanah), we climb E up Sticks Pass, and then N up to Stybarrow Dodd. From Stybarrow, we continue N to Watson's Dodd, Great Dodd, Calfhow Pike and eventually Clough Head and White Pike. From White Pike, we head over to St John's in the Vale via the Old Coach Road, returning S to Stanah via Sosgill Bridge and Legburthwaite.

Length: Approx. 11 miles / 18km
Time: 6-7 hours
Ascent: Approx. 2,200 feet / 750m

Start: 09:30 Small car park at Stanah (just off the junction on the A591 with B5322, "St John's in the Vale" road, NY 320190)

Car share from Low Wood Hotel at 08:45

Car sharing is encouraged as there are limited spaces at Stanah.
Parking is also possible at Legburthwaite, NY 318195), though this is a Pay-and-Display car park
