Circular walk from Dockray catching a couple of the lesser Wainwrights.
moderate
Distance 15.4 km
Dockray over the delightful sounding Watermillock Common. Some great views of the fog and rain as you round Glencoyne Brow then up to Hart Side by 'railing' the fence up to Birkett Fell. An alternative path will take you across the crags at Glencoyne Head if you can keep your head for edges intact, the lift up to Hart Side is through a nick in the crags as the path turns toward the west. Follow it up to White Stones cairn then head back NE to bag the summit of Hart Side.
Wind your way around the line of peaks initially SW to find Stybarrow Dodd, Watsons Dodd and finally Great Dodd.
That's your 4 Wainwright's for this walk so head NW from Great Dodd following the clear path over Matterdale Common back down to the ol coach path and then west (right) back to Dockray.
Not tried the pub at Dockray yet so I'll post again later.
