Returning to the 'Dales 30' 

(Fells over 2000ft in the Yorkshire Dales National Park)

Dodd Fell Hill & Great Knoutberry Hill

10.5miles 2100ft

Heading out of Hawes into Sleddale

After gaining height Raydale comes into view

The summit plateau is soon reached 

The summit trig point 2192ft

Zooming in on the unmistakable Ingleborough

I then descended the same way and drove to Newby Head on the Hawes to Dent road to start my 2nd climb to Great Knoutberry  Hill

I parked here at Newby Head and joined the Pennine Bridleway

Climbing up with Pen Y Ghent on the horizon behind 

The start of the ridge of Great Knoutberry Hill 

Looking along the ridge with Dentdale (L) and Garsdale (R)

Great Knoutberry Hill summit trig point 2205ft

Ingleborough again from the summit

Descending Arten Gill to the Settle to Carlisle railway viaduct

It was a great place to sit for lunch

Stone House hamlet in Dentdale came into view a litte futher down Arten Gill

Passing through the hamlet of Stone House 

The river Dee flows through Stone House

I then followed the river upsteam following the 'Dales Way' long distance footpath past Dent Head Viaduct

Arriving back at my car on the on roadside at Newby Head

Once again a lovely day's walking. It's always a delight to walk in the Dales making an enjoyable contrast to the Lakeland scenery. 

I now have just 5 summits left of the 'Dales 30'.
