Helvellyn, The Lake District
- October 2008
| This was our last walk of our October 2008 trip to the Lakes,
and was a 6-hour hike with 3,000 feet of climbing from Ambleside
to Helvellyn via Grisedale Tarn, with the return to Stanah via Sticks
Pass. We started the day by positioning one car at Stanah, and made
our way to The Travellers Rest pub at Ambleside where we left the
second car and started the walk. |
