I was going to have a shot at traversing under the E side of halls fell ridge which this seems to describe.

One thing that has put me off it, is looking from the top of doddick the heather looks awful deep!

Are there trods? or is it a case of dead reckoning through? How deep is the heather? - and the next interesting question - do you think this is a safe route for a night/poor visibility descent?
