Route: From a layby (opposite a bus stop) approaching the Brotherswater Inn, a footpath across the drumlins to a footbridge and then a left turn on a more major track. At a wall, a sharp right turn very steeply up hill, drifting left onto the middle of the ridge and then further left to cross a lateral wall before zigzagging to the summit of Middle Dodd. Then on to the summit of Red Screes before taking the steep descent to the Kirkstone Inn for a mid-walk stiffener. Taking the steep and surprisingly rocky footpath behind the pub before turning first north and then east to reach the summit of Caudale Moor. Then retracing our steps and following a couple of substantial cairns to find the ridge of Rough Edge and steeply down to the Brotherswater Inn and, later, the car.
Conditions: Cloudy and weakly sunny with a cold breeze.
Pub: the Kirkstone Inn for Heskett Newmarket Skiddaw and Kirkstone Black. The Brotherswater Inn for Cumberland Breweries Corby Blonde.
