Walk for Sunday 18th May - Helvellyn Edges

Description: From Patterdale, we head up Grizedale, then up the side of the valley, to Hole-in-the-Wall, then along Striding Edge to the top of Helvellyn. Return is via Swirral Edge to Catstye Cam, then back to Patterdale via Glenridding.

Striding Edge is a fairly easy scramble, with big drops on either side of a narrow ridge, making it the classic route to the top.

Grade: 4

Distance: 9 Miles

Ascent: 850 m

Start: 09.30 Patterdale. Meet in car park over road from Patterdale Hotel (cost £3.50). You might be able to park for free in front of the George Starkey Hut (about 1/4 mile north of Patterdale Hotel). Click here for a map.

Car Share: I won't be there, but suggest meeting at Low Wood Hotel at 09.00

Leader: Tom 07884493081
