The main north, south ridge of Helvellyn stretches from Threlkeld in the North to Ambleside in the South. This magnificent ridge crosses the centre of the Lake District.

This is a long demanding walk which in turn is rewarding in terms of challenging your skills with some serious ascents and super views in all directions out across Lakeland.

Let our professionally qualified mountain leaders take the strain and give you a great day out in the fells.

The ridge continues North from Helvellyn with wonderful views over the surrounding countryside as we cross White Side and raise to Sticks Pass where the path again climbs as we cross the Dodds, Stybarrow Dodd, Watson's Dodd and Great Dodd before descending over our final summit of the day Clough Head and dropping down onto the Old Coach Road and our path down to Threlkeld
