Hi everyone, our next instalment of our week in the Lakes was a trip to Hartsop village where we parked on the free car park at the far end of the village. There are numerous walks from here and today we were making Brock Crags our first port of call, even from the car the views were great as you could walk straight on to Hartsop Dodd.
- Hartsop Dodd
With only a small distance covered the views opened up to the Knott towering over Hayeswater.

Also up to Threshthwaite

We continued climbing until we levelled out a little and saw what was making the bellowing we had heard all day, a stag who had around six hinds chasing him

We had to leave the track to head to Brock Crags summit and it got a bit boggy near the summit
