Thanks Richard
As I said if I had known before hand about the bothy I'd have had a nosey, but (and it was a lot further down the hill than it looked in my photo ) I wasn't for losing any hard won ascent
Know the feeling. Having said that, on Sunday I descended all the way down Middle Dodd towards Brotherswater, only to re-ascend Kirkstone Pass, where we had parked. I actually didn't mind - but my son had a bit of a grumble!
