First time over this hill- from Garth Head (some verge parking) up well-graded, grassy path which we left at 418183 and joined a path from Sleet Fell- steep ground to start, it gave a pleasant traverse of High Dodd to Place Fell. Return by Boardale via hause- more interesting than expected, the valley head is quite impressive. With Petepwheeler11/03/2024
Beda Fell and Place Fell circuit from Hartsop. 8 of 11thekirkie pirate07/03/2024
Parked at the hause opposite Martindale church. Took the road to Garth Heads and the sloping path up to High Dodd, a snow slushy Place Fell, Round How, Chapel in the Hause, Beda Fell/Head before dropping to the road ahead of the Nickles. Cloud base around 500m so brief views on the first and last tops and the hause in the middle. Very wet both from above and underfoot. Breezy. With Gillian.richard6930/12/2023
