Glenridding Dodd, Heron Pike & Sheffield Pike - up and back from Glenridding car park via The Rake. High temperatures made the steep climb even harder work, although it was still worth it for the stunning views from all three summits. Think I lost a particularly sweat and snot-stained hanky here, many apologies to any future baggers who happen to get it stuck to them (I did revisit the summit to search on the way back down, but to no avail - felt very bad about having possibly inadvertently littered a hill). | wheresthepath | 25/06/2018 |
