Dodd summit walk completed yesterday with wife and 2 daughters (12 & 5) Easily within 3 hours, very windy day but mainly dry, steep initial ascent but worth it for the views and then a rewarding coffee at the end. Enjoyable walk.

My wife and i did the green walk today, it is quite steep in places but the views from the top are astounding and well worth it.
