    “Age shall not wither her, nor custom stale
    her infinite variety”
    Shakespeare claimed to be writing about Cleopatra, although recent research suggests that he probably took up rock climbing for a time in the early 1600s as part of the research for the “dizzy heights” scene in Lear, so these lines may well relate to the Bard’s visit to Almscliffe.

    I’d normally think of Hetchell as a sheltered location when its windy or showery, screened by the trees. Limited routes. A tad awkward for Mark or anyone from Harrogate ?

    I work it out as a total of 1333 metres of uphill going, plus 22.7 km of distance Dodd-ering along. Dockray to Helvellyn and then back via Catstycam and Glencoyne Head.
    So if we allow 2 hours for the 1333 metres, and say 45 mins for 2 nibble stops and various conversations with former Members going the other way, we’re left with 4.75 hours for 22.7 km which is 4.7 kph.
    Well done Sparky

    In that case we’ll go with the MWIS forecast instead, because it is much better weather
