Circuit, parking at corner W of Wanthwaite Bridge. Threlkeld Knotts, White Pike, Calfhow Pike, Little Dodd (fairly meaningless 'summit' with two cairns), Great Dodd, Randerside, Watson's Dodd. Descended via Castle Rock then returned via ridge of High Rigg. Wen Crag, High Rigg S Top, SE Top, and High Rigg.RobertP11/12/2023

Slight diversion on the way up Great Dodd from Calfhow Pike. Even for someone with a belligerently inclusive approach to very minor tops this one is a bit of a stretch. Both cairns visited!agentmancuso31/08/2023
