This October's weather in general has been pretty poor and keeping with the status quo today's was no better. Unfortunately MWIS predicted a 20% chance of clear summits and heavy showers, something short & low seemed like the best option, Glenridding Dodd's lack of height virtually guaranteed a view.
Avoiding parking in Glenridding I approached via the pleasant path that leaves the road beside Stybarrow Crag and follows Mossdale Beck as height is gained.
Slightly better than predicted up Ullswater...
