High Hartsop Dodd – Cumbria England
Hello John,
my family and I placed our SamStone yesterday. It was a beautiful day up here in Cumbria. We walked up High Hartsop Dodd and on to Little Hart Crag. I placed the stone in the cairn at the top of Little Hart Crag, and we all said a little prayer for Sam. It’s a nice walk; you go past a lovely little lake called Brothers Water; past an ancient (stone age?) settlement; then up a very steep climb. Then you are “on top of the world”, mountains all around. (Mountains by UK standards. The tallest in England is 3000 feet!) I’ve included some of the pictures below.
Here is what my GPS device told me:
1. UK coordinates (Ordnance Survey GB, British Grid)
NY 38854
BNG 10052
Approx. 2100 feet elevation.
Then I switched it to a more global scheme:
N 54 degrees. 28 minutes. 55.2 seconds.
W 2 degrees. 56 minutes. 37.9 seconds.
Hopefully that will make some sense.
