"Whoever Mr Watson may have been, it is a very odd Dodd that has been selected to perpetuate his name."

A.W Wainwright

The three 'Dodds' to the north of Sticks Pass form a grassy undulating ridge with easy walking , Watson's Dodd is the middle of these three peaks and the best viewpoint over the mountain scenery to the west, much of the Lake District can be seen from the summit.

The lower slopes offer much of interest, the grassy slopes eventually give way too steep rocky faces towards St John's In The Vale with waterfalls cascading down to the valley floor. Foremost of these rocky faces is The Castle Rock Of Triermain, or Castle Rock, a prominent view from the main road between Thirlmere and Keswick and well known in rock climbing circles for it's many classic routes.

Thanks so much to Neil for a wonderful day's guiding Above Whinlatter last Tuesday. Neil was the perfect walking companion - very knowledgeable and professional and seemingly totally happy with taking me - the sole participant - on the walk on a really wet and miserable July day. This is why I book with the Lake District Walker - I'd booked the walk (and all associated train travel to the Lakes from the south of England) some months ago from Australia, and it's great to feel confident that the walk will go ahead as planned and is not dependent on numbers. Unfortunately no spectacular views as the mist & rain closed in, but a fantastic day from my point of view nevertheless. Thanks once again.
