In early June 2023, Neil returns to Glenridding, and heads up a Lakeland classic - Helvellyn, England's third highest hill, not via Striding Edge! He also visits nearby Wainwrights Raise, White Side, Nethermost Pike and finishes with a trip to Catstycam, via the dramatic Swirral Edge.
On the way, there are birds, tales of pony trekking Victorians and intrepid aeronautical pioneers!
This is a roughly 12 mile walk, with around 3,890 ft of ascent and descent, which should take around 7 or 8 hours (we take longer, given a lot of faffing about with filming!). Full route here: explore.osmaps...
On the way back down, it's worth paying a visit to YHA Helvellyn (www.yha.org.uk...) for drinks and snacks.
