Well documented, thank you for sharing. It’s beautiful up there, just climbed Helvellyn via Thirlmere with the family in August 2021. What a blessing to experience these wonders of God’s creation!
So precious Eddie and wonderful memory of a stunning walk with your brothers. More so with the very recent loss of your lovely brother Eric. Thinking of you every day at this sad time and my sister and all Eric's family. ❤️❤️❤️ xxxxx
Hi Allison, yes special memories and really emotional to watch. We still can't believe what has happened. Eric will always be in our thoughts, he was taken far too soon. A very special person who gave 100 percent in everything he did. Thank you for the kind words and thoughts. Carol has been a star, I don't know how I would have coped without her. Thanks again xxx
Hi Damian, thanks. It is a nice route up to Helvellyn with great views all the way. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddiue.
Thanks. Helvellyn is a great Fell to climb in the Lake District. The views from the summit are superb on a good day. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Cheers. Eddie.
Hi Eddie, lovely video mate. I do like the ascent up Helvellyn from the Thirlmere side, simply for the fact you get that big reveal. I went up there on Monday from Wythburn, unfortunately I could not see absolutely nothing in any direction. Haha I have put a short video up on my channel.
Hi Dave, it is a very special video for me as my brother, Eric, who was on this walk with me, passed away suddenly just after Christmas. I will treasure the memories of this walk with him. I plan to go up Helvellyn the same way you did from Wythburn, so I will have a look at your video when I get back from the Lakes, we are in Keswick for a couple of days. Thanks for watching and commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
@@eddiecaisley5746 HI Eddie, I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your brother. Condolences to all the family. Its nice that you have this video to look back on with the time you spent with him in the mountains. Enjoy the rest of your break in the lakes. You have certainly picked the right week for it. Cheers Dave
Thanks Elizabeth. This was the first walk I have done with my brothers, we had a great day. I was disappointed that I had camera issues on the day, but still got enough footage & photos to make the video. Thanks again for watching & commenting. Cheers. Eddie.
Morning Eddie, from this new subscriber. Your videos will add something to my life, so your extra work with the camera is much appreciated. Happy trails ....
Brilliant Eddie! The light on Thirlmere ascending was gorgeous. It’s easy to see why it’s a popular Fell, the views are just stunning from the summit. Nice to meet the family. ATB Anthony 👍
Thanks Anthony, Helvellyn is one of my favourites. This is the first time I have done anything like this with my brothers. We all enjoyed the day. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers. Eddie.
Thanks Alex. Helvellyn is a great walk, whichever route you take. Hope you get good weather for your hike as the views from Helvellyn on a good day are superb. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie ( and Happy 30th Birthday for next week!)
Always go up from Glenridding but as I want to take my grandson to the summit and miss out Striding Edge, this looks a great alternative. Another great watch and again, great weather, I think the only time I have ever seen you out in bad weather, was the time you were with me on Nine Standards Rig lol! Looks like you all had a great day and it looks a nice clear, well defined path up, allowing me to look after my grandson, rather than the map. Cheers Alan
Thanks Alan. The path is easy to follow from Swirls car park. Quite steep in parts, but nothing too bad. This is the first time I have been walking with my brothers, we all had a great day. You're right, the walk with you on Nine Standards was the only day I had bad weather, ha! It was still a good day though. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers. Eddie
Hi David. Pleased you enjoyed the Wasdale Walk. That area is one of my favourite parts of the lake District. Thanks for watching & commenting on the Helvellyn video. I had a load of camera issues on the day we did Helvellyn so the video is not the best. Another good walk to Helvellyn is from Sticks Pass up to Raise, White Side then on to Helvellyn. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Full view Eddie. That was beautiful sat here with a friend. It reminded me of a moment I had with 3 other friends on top of a mountain in Wales. They're special moments. All the best. Mark
Thanks Mark. This was another good day and good to walk with my two brothers and Tracy ( and Daisy the dog!) I had a few camera issues, so did not get as much footage as I had hoped, but it worked out ok. Thanks again for watching and commenting. Cheers. Eddie.
I was about to ask if it would be safe to take my terrier. Only a few minutes into this my question was answered. Any tips pls on taking her. Ty for for this video . Not only stunning veiws but a few questions answered.
Hi, thanks for watching. The only things I can think of is to take plenty of water for you and your dog and to be aware of some drops near the summit of Helvellyn looking down to the tarn. Other than that, you should have a great day, the views are superb. Thank you again for watching, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Hi Craig, the climb up is ok, a bit steep in places, but nothing too bad. The path up is a mixture of stone steps with some rocky sections. The gradient eases when you get higher up. On a clear day the views from Helvellyn are superb. Thanks for watching and commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Great video! My wife and I are back in the Lake District in the summer and Helvelyn is on our to do list. I like the look of this route as I'm not sure I have the nerve for Striding Edge!
Thanks. This is a good route up to Helvellyn. It is probably the shortest route up and the path is fairly easy to follow with great views all the way up. Thanks for watching & commenting. Cheers. Eddie.
Hi, thanks. You should be ok as long as you have some basic fitness. (able to walk 4-5 miles) It is a great route up with stunning views. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care & enjoy Helvellyn when you do it. Cheers. Eddie.
Thanks Shaun, we all had a good day. It is the first time I have done a walk like this with my brothers. I was surprised when I saw the photo from Mellbreak in Trail, I didn't think they would put it in. That was another good day. Mellbreak is a really good one to do. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers. Eddie.
This was a walk I really wanted to see as an alternative to striding edge, which didn't look busy from the top pan you did... You took some great shots considering you were having camera issues.. Enjoyed... :)
Thanks, this route is a good alternative to doing Striding Edge with good views all the way up. I was disappointed with my photographs ( It was a new lens which was not working and has been returned) Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers. Eddie.
Hi Julie. This is a really good walk with stunning views. I had issues with my cameras on this day, so the footage is not the best. We parked at Swirls Car Park next to Thirlmere. You should have no issues with your dog on this route. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is always appreciated. Take care. Eddie.
Hi, it took around 6 hours and that includes a bit of time spent at the summit taking in the views. Thanks for watching, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
@@maximusmeridius9413 Hi, it was 6 hours in total from start to finish. Around 3 hours to the top and 2 and a half hours to get back down, leaving a bit of time at the top to take in the views. Cheers. Eddie.
Well documented, thank you for sharing. It’s beautiful up there, just climbed Helvellyn via Thirlmere with the family in August 2021. What a blessing to experience these wonders of God’s creation!

Thanks for posting Eddie. I just completed the loop around the Wasdale yesterday with my son - inspired by your video of that walk. Loved it 👍👍

Great video thank you. I'm doing this climb September 3rd. Do you require a certain level of fitness to do this climb?

Great day out Eddie,keep meaning to say I'd seen your picture in Trail when you did Mellbreak.
