Wanlock Dod and Sowen Dod

29 July 2020

Participants: Just me

Where:    Wanlock Dod, 552m/1811', P. 94m, Tump, OS 71, NS 875 140 and Sowen Dod, 546m/1791', P.69m, Tump, OS 71, NS 866 144

I parked at the county boundary for those two gently rolling hills in the northern Lowther Hills. A high starting point plus a rough path up the side of a fence added to their ease of access. There was a small cairn at the top of Wanlock Dod and a gate and a junction of fences marked the high point of Sowen Dod.

I returned the same way, a pleasant gentle walk where as I expected, I saw no one else.
