"To the north of Hawes lies the pair of Great Shunner Fell and Lovely Seat; similarly paired but lying to the south is the much more relaxed pairing of Dodd Fell Hill and Wether Fell. Circling the valley of Sleddale this horseshoe is full of interest throughout and enjoys outstanding views in all directions but most impressively towards the 3 Peaks to the south.
Although the approach to Dodd Fell Hill is straightforward sticking to the excellent track marking the Pennine Way the actual summit area is different. Generally trackless there is an element of guess work in when to leave the Pennine Way and in bad weather the trig point is easily missed. It is a lonely spot, peaceful and I, for one, enjoy it very much.
It it almost inevitable that the two mountains are combined, any single approach to Dodd Fell Hill would be odd unless it is on a quick detour from the Pennine Way. I also tend to climb Dodd Fell Hill first, it is so straightforward and the final descent from Wether Hill very special.
