Summits: Rest Dodd, Brock Crags and Angletarn Pikes
Description: We exit Hartsop village car park to follow a public footpath which leads all the way up Hayeswater Gill till it meets a wooden footbridge. We will cross the footbridge and keep ascending on a path which leads to The Knott but we won’t follow this all the way, instead we arc left towards Rest Dodd and ascend our first Wainwright Summit of the day.
After leaving Rest Dodd we follow a footpath over Satura Crag to Brock Crags which will be the 2nd Wainwright of the day. On a clear day Brock Crags gives excellent views of the valley to which Pasture Beck is home. On leaving Brock Crags we backtrack and pick up the path from Satura Crag but this time follow it onto Buck Crag which will start to give clear views of Angle Tarn. Continuing on we ascend Angletarn Pikes which is the 3rd and final Wainwright summit of the day.
On leaving Angletarn Pikes we descend gradually on a path to Boredale Hause and at its plateau we take a path back to Hartsop village via Dubhow.
