Walk: Martindale St. Martins- Dalehead- Heck Crag- Brock Crags- Rest Dodd- back down NW ridge- The Nab- N. ridge- St. Martins Ch. I used the stalkers' track to below Nab End: round W of the ridge, though narrow in places, it went well- after some very wet weather; no need to go anywhere near The Bungalow- gates/stiles and a trod all the way to the track. Private sign at gate to road but NB Access Land notices with 'preferred routes' Clouding over with some rain in the air at times from Rest Dodd after sunny start.pwheeler16/03/2024

Hartsop > Pumping House > Rest Dodd > The Nab > Satura Crag > Brock Crags > Hartsop. Solo walk, light rain turning heavy for a couple of hours in the middle of the walk. Wind was also far stronger than forecast, I'd estimate 35-40mph. Had to bypass the hags on The Nab completely to the East. Very wet underfoot but cloud base kept high so views throughout.johnkaysleftleg31/03/2023
