Sun 28th June - Fairfield, Dollywagon Pike & Helvellyn

Starting at Patterdale in the carpark on the opposite side of the road to the Patterdale Hotel (pay and display unfortunately). We will be heading up Birks, St Sunday Crag and on to Fairfield. Once at Fairfield we bag Seat Sandal then head up over Dollywagon Pike, Nethermost Pike, Helvellyn and Helvellyn Lower Man. After a quick run up Raise and down Sticks pass we have the option to take it easy and head back to the cars or add on Sheffield pike and Glenridding Dodd. A pleasant view of Ullswater and Glenridding to end the day. If people want to we can tag on Birkhouse moor on the way back to the cars, which is another Wainwright.

We will hopefully be doing between 8 and 11 Wainwrights depending on the choices made on the day. For those with a desire for a challenge I can direct you to Arnison Crag at the start of the walk for an extra Wainwright, you can then catch the rest of us up on Birks or St Sunday Crag (cutting the corner off).

Ascent: - 1807m or 5928 ft (depending on the extras).
