First time we’ve been up here and we took a bit of an unorthodox route up .
I’d planned to go up over Little Dodd but the stream was too deep and fast at the customary crossing point and had to walk up the path between Melbreak and Hen Comb until we found somewhere to get over much farther upstream . Lovely on the top and quite comfortable in the sun . Plenty contacts including a couple of W2Ws with Matthew on Seatallan and Tim on Blencathra .
Cheers .
Richard.

The river crossing can be challenging at the best of times,but with all of the rain we have had you had no chance
The anytone with 25 watts did better than my 5 watts when i did it the only contact i made was with Andrew G4VFL and i think that was down to he chases Hema’s
Nice photos

Mrs XGO/P was rolling her pants legs up and undoing her boots all for us paddling across , at 6 below freezing ! As I’d forgotten to put the towel in the bag which I generally carry she went off the idea .
