Description: This is a mountain walk with a mixture of high paths and moorland walking.
Route: From Stanah, we will ascend up to the top of Sticks Pass. At this point we will walk southwards, taking in the summits of Raise (884 m), White Side (862 m), Helvellyn (950 m), Nethermost Pike (891 m), Dollywaggon Pike (858 m) and Seat Sandal (736 m) before following Tongue Gill down to the Travellers’ Rest Inn for a very well-deserved lemonade and plate of chips!
High Point: Helvellyn summit (950 m) (approx. 1220 m height gain)
Distance: Approx. 9 miles (14.5 km)
Time: Approx. 8 hours
Grade: Strenuous
Note: This is long mountain day, although the walk itself will not be rushed. Please make sure you bring plenty of food and drink for a long day in the mountains. As this walk is in summer, the risk of sunburn and/or sunstroke exists, so please have sunblock, lip balm, hat and sun glasses with you.
Leader: Mel
Please let Mel know in advance by 6.00 pm on Saturday if you are coming on this walk (text 07584 303975)
If the conditions are bad I reserve the right to modify the route or cancel the walk. During the walk, if the group is not moving a smoothly as I would like it to I may decide to alter the route to reduce the total ascent. If insufficient interest is shown in the walk it may be cancelled.
