Overview

Starting from the roadside parking near Wanthwaite Bridge at 09:30.

Walk will be led by Roger L

Take in the snowy (well possibly) ridge line from Clough Head, over Great Dodd, Watsons Dodd and Stybarrow Dodd, descending Sticks Pass and returning alongside St John's Beck. A moderate pace so that we can take in all the views. A slightly rough path towards the top of Clough Head but otherwise very approachable paths.
