Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Dodd (Buttermere)
John King walked up on August 9th, 2009 [with] Paul [weather] Sunny - Date unknown
Kevin Foster climbed on April 26th, 2021 [from/via/route] Red Pike (Buttermere). [with] By myself. [weather] Sunny with a few clouds. - An unpleasant steep descent on very slippy scree initially before reaching the col with Dodd. The top is then easily reached after a very short climb. The descent to Buttermere from here is paved but very uneven & seems to take forever. However, the lakeside path back to the starting point at Gatescarth is sublime & a beautiful way to end this classic walk.
Darren Mortimer bagged on May 5th, 2018 [from/via/route] Buttermere [with] Dermot Palmer [weather] Sunny warm & overcast at times - Nice viewing point from the cairn lower down.
