    Tips

    July 2, 2022

    Parts of this hike along side Sour Gill are steep, I recommend having a hiking pole for the journey back down. The views are great, the stone path up through the forest was magical. I didn’t see a sole on the hike, probably not a popular trail. I was trying for Red Pike but the scree slope near the top of it put me off. I made do with the Dodd instead, a worthy compromise. I left Buttermere village in the morning and was back for lunch. Lots of Sun and temperature changes, have layers with you and sun protection just in case :)
