Helvellyn pics

[Zoidburg]

Few photos of our hike up helvellyn last weekend, we were lucky with the weather.

Enjoyed the walk a lot, tough but not a killer. It's prompted me to try a few more of the wainwright's over the coming months hopefully. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191101/ce5cf60a4668a2afb56538aa2093c714.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191101/f2021e4f143ed00d5ccd14e9b78f93be.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191101/f86541d0ebc54bae6f17afde727d53ca.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191101/d2cde849ca6129564e0ae317793a56c6.jpg

The pub we stayed in had a sausage and beer festival. Finished the night after a good few pints with a cheeky 10% tiramisu stout. Slept v v well that night [emoji16]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191101/c1932bb5af3e5e57eee1385f4458c9cb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191101/3188ef0199e7d26730d772cd316993ad.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191101/327070ad0d7b0e7fb4d29b6f584edbc9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191101/26056604af875c61c5fff3aeea64a4f7.jpg

InspiringThanks mate, we were v lucky with the weather, perfect autumn day.

I'm not a big walker but when you get out into scenery like this is its difficult not to feel a bit amazed.

Those photos bring back memories of when I used to live close enough to the Lake District to spend weekends there mountain biking and walking. I loved that area, and do miss it now.

North Wales isn't it?

Great pictures. Makes me want to get out there.

No it's in the lakes.

Did Helvellyn a few years ago, great views on the way up, and Striding Edge was interesting. The summit was a bit disappointing though, big enough to land a plane on, probably.

I would recommend putting Crinkle Crags on your to do list Ben, we went up there on a crisp day in January. Park up at Dungeon Ghyll and walk from there. The valley floor never lost its frost, and when we got to the top the air was so clear we could see southern Scotland, the Isle of Man and Snowdonia from the same spot-now that was a view! :)

Thanks mate, il deffo look into your suggestion as we were thinking about a walk this weekend as long as the weather looks good.

There is actually a small plaque at the top of helvelynn to commemorate a plane that landed up there!
