Start : Roadside parking at the top of Dunmail Raise
Start Time : 10am Grid Reference : NY 330 110
Description : I planned this route for December last year but we were effectively rained off. This is an easier route up Dollywagon Pike and Helvellyn with the promise of great views on a clear day. (Starting at the summit of Dumail Raise reduces the ascent by about 230m.)
Route: Dunmail Raise - Grisedale Tarn - Dollywagon Pike - Nethermost Pike - Helvellyn - Birkside - Comb Crags - Wythburn - Dunmail Raise
Distance : Roughly 6.5 Miles
Highest Point : 949 metres
Grade : Strenuous - I have given it this grading as it is a mountain walk although it is one of the easier ways up Helvellyn.
Time : 5 to 5.5 Hours
