Skiddaw & The Ospreys
A great day walking up Skiddaw and seeing the Ospreys today.
After meeting in Keswick I picked up John and Bernadette and drove us to Dodd Wood. The morning was an absolute cracker, and we all started out in our t shirts and sun glasses. A short walk through the forest brought us to the first Osprey View Point. We did get a view of these great birds, but we continued climbing up to the upper viewpoint where we got an even better sighting of them.
After enjoying the viewpoint and learning about the Ospreys we continued upwards. We opted not to summit Dodd, and instead we climbed the steep track up to the rounded summit of Carl Side. The weather had been good until this point, and the views were great, but now the cloud was dropping and some showers were coming through. We climbed up the steep scree onto the now misty and windswept summit of Skiddaw. We ducked into the summit shelter for a bite to eat, but we did not stay long. We now made our way across the plateau and then onto Little Man. As we left this summit we were again under the mist and enjoying great views over Keswick.
We descended down the long tourist track and then climbed onto Latrigg. We stopped on the bench near the top for a whole to soak up the views across the Lakes. After descending from the slopes of Latrigg we made our way back through Keswick.
