    Hiking

    I've visited the summit of Watson's Dodd twice, it sits between Great Dodd and Stybarrow Dodd on the long Helvellyn ridge. Its Wainwright status makes it popular with peak baggers but it's a much quieter area to explore than the fells closer to Helvellyn.

    My 3rd Wainwright of the day and a nice quiet one at that.

    Watson's Dodd is one of 214 Wainwrights.
    Wainwrights are 214 English peaks described in Alfred Wainwright's seven-volume Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells.
