Fells
Route
Patterdale up Place Fell from Boredale Hause, back down to the hause, up to Angletarn Pikes, round Angle Tarn to Brock Crags, on to Rest Dodd and out-and-back to The Nab. Return past Angle Tarn and down to Patterdale.
Dog hazards
Place Fell from Boredale Hause finishes with a short rocky gully onto Round How (active dogs usually fine). Angletarn Pikes' summit needs a short scramble - dogs can wait just below. THE NAB IS IN THE MARTINDALE DEER FOREST - red deer, dogs on short leads, and avoid it during the autumn rut (roughly Sept-Nov).
Scrambles
Short rocky gully below Place Fell's top; scramble to Angletarn Pikes' summit (skip it with the dogs).
Water
Angle Tarn - one of the best dog-swimming spots on the fells.
Livestock
Sheep; red deer around The Nab.
Notes
Do this trip outside Sept-Nov.
