Event Description

"this is one of the pleasantest short climbs in Lakeland."

A Wainwright

The craggy heather covered slopes to the north of Glenridding make an enjoyable shorter days walk, stunning views over Ullswater are the reward for anyone who climbs to the summits of Glenridding Dodd and Sheffield Pike.

The descent through the hidden wooded valley of Glencoyne, by Seldom Seen is a delight.

Summits included on this route:

Glenridding Dodd	442 metres/1450 feet
Sheffield Pike	675 metres/2215 feet

"On a sunny day in August the summit is a delectable place. It is richly clothed with heather, and larches almost reach the top of the north side."

A Wainwright

From Glenridding we will climb north to join the ridge above Blaes Crag, from where a short climb will bring us to the picturesque summit of Glenridding Dodd.

the ridge west from Glenridding Dodd climbs good paths over rough ground to the subsidiary summit but wonderful viewpoint of Heron Pike before climbing to the true summit of Sheffield Pike.

From the summit of Sheffield Pike we will descend west to Nick Head where a good path will drop down into the Glencoyne Valley, through the beautiful Glencoyne Wood and the Ullswater lakeshore path back to Glenridding.

Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Kit List Tab above.
