Helvellyn & Striding Edge
May 7th, 2012
Another bright day was upon us as we were ready to tackle Helvellyn & Striding Edge.
From Glenriding we climbed to Lanty’s Tarn before taking the secluded path up the grassy spur by the wall. The forecast satated the visibility would be ‘virtually unlimited’, and it wasn’t far wrong. Everyone climbed well and soon enough we were on the summit of Birkhouse Moor. From here we enjoyed the flatter ground and made our way to High Spying How, and then start of Striding Edge. We opted to have a quick bite to eat here before getting into the really fun stuff! We got onto the ridge and everyone scrambled really well, and the big smiles on their faces displayed they were having a good time. Before we knew it we had completed the edge, and after walking up the steep exit ramp we were up on Helvellyn’s busy summit plateau. We stopped again to finish our lunches and to soak up the incredible views. We descended from the summit down Swirral Edge where again more great scrambling was had.
After bagging Catstycam we descended via the good path down to Greenside Mine, and then into Glenridding.
