Jenny And Nim "Discussing"

Oh dear, there goes Nim again - he's incorrigable. I'm surprised he didn't suffer any broken limbs from this little encounter, actually... Jenny: you're slipping! ;)

Geoff Strides Out

On the third day we bravely decided to tackle Helvellyn, around the standard Swirrel then Striding Edges route. Geoff made a good start, as you can see - maybe there's something in all those swiss rolls after all (other than more chemicals than you'd find in a science lab, of course).

Geoff Takes A Quick Break

Generously, he decided to wait for us to catch up for a bit. Or did he say he was admiring the view? Anyway, it definitely wasn't because he was tired - I know, because he said so.

Like A River...

Nice meandering little mountain stream this one, keeping us company as we hiked up the first little valley on the way. I've got a bit of a soft spot for pictures of rocky mountain streams...

... She Is Turning

... See?

Old Mine Workings

There was some sort of old mine here, and you can still see a few remnants around the stream as it cuts its way down from the fells above.

On The Way

We made fairly good progress at first - this might have had something to do with the virtually flat terrain, as you can see.

Geoff Still Ahead

But maybe he's flagging? Or perhaps he just enjoys walking like that... By the way, the peak in the background isn't actually Helvellyn - we followed the path round to the left some way ahead, and Helvellyn appears later...

A Quick Rest

This is where we started gaining alititude a little more quickly - so we decided we'd have a little rest first. As you can see, Geoff and Jenny are already dropping off...

Everyone By Red Tarn

You can see the summit of Helvellyn in the background, here. In the foreground (behind those scruffy vagabonds, whoever they are) is Red Tarn, a small corrie lake which lies between Striding Edge (off shot to the left here) and Swirrel Edge (off shot to the right here).
