Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Rest Dodd

Chris Sheard walked up on August 10th, 2020 [from/via/route] Up from Hartsop carpark [with] Jamie [weather] Quite warm start with light winds cleared for a glorious afternoon - Steep initial ascent and worth it for socialising with folks on CtC - Much water needed

Adrian Howard climbed on September 28th, 2017 [from/via/route] Cow Bridge Car park

Kevin Foster conquered on May 17th, 2019 [from/via/route] Place Fell via Boredale Hause and Angletarn Pikes [with] Henry. [weather] Sunny and hot to begin with becoming cloudier later on with a fresh northerly breeze. - The approach from Boredale Hause via Angletarn Pikes is quite interesting with great views along the way of Brothers Water, Kirkstone Pass and Hayeswater. Rest Dodd's remote position at the head of Martindale makes it one for the 'baggers'. The top is marked with a small cairn of stones but the flagpole mentioned in the wainwright books is sadly no longer there.

John Tippins climbed on April 13th, 2016 [from/via/route] Christy Bridge [with] Solo [weather] The day started overcast and dull, the sort of day you want to stay in front of a fire. However, by late morning it was sunny, very little cloud cover and the warmest it's been all week. It didn't last long. By early afternoon it was complete cloud cover, chilly and windy, and from mid/late afternoon there was also a light rain. But still a good day for walking. - Brock Crags was my 107th Wainwright, so I completed half of all the Wainwrights with the first peak of the day.
