Glennridding Dodd to White Side

Friday 26th January 2018

Walking Diary (All Walks) Lakeland Wainwrights Eastern

A stunning day out in the Eastern Fells. From Glenridding roadside we climbed Glenridding Dodd and Sheffield Pike before hitting the snowline about 750m. We then crossed over to Stybarrow Dodd before a glorious high level walk along the Helvelyn massif to Raise and White Side. Our descent was alongside Keppel Cove from White Side and then next to Glenridding Beck all the way to the Travellers Rest pub. A great day out.

The conditions were perfect - so still and clear. This truly was a superb day out. White Side ahead.

It just doesn't get much better ! Three happy chaps
