The Route:
We use this route during the winter months to avoid the Striding Edge ridge in bad weather conditions, although both routes can be privately booked all year.
From Wythburn Church we will climb through the woods to the fell track above climbing above Comb Crags to reach the summit of Helvellyn, this route gives wonderful views as we climb above Thirlmere.
We will follow the fine ridge south from Helvellyn over the summits of Nethermost Pike, High Crag and Dollywaggon Pike before descending to Grisedale Tarn and the Raise Beck path down to Dunmail Raise where we will follow the track back to Wythburn Church.
