There's An Easier Way! Helvellyn From Thirlmere
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- In 2021 I climbed up Helvellyn for the first time ever and I walked it from Glenridding, which means going over Striding Edge- even in lovely June weather I nearly cacked it!
So this time I'm showing you how to climb Helvellyn from the west side of the peak.

Thanks for an excellent video. I used the route that you demonstrated in your video and reached the summit in 1 hour 50 minutes. Weather was great and views from the summit were amazing. Thanks again
Great video buddy. We are going do this route the way you shown. Thanks so much. Good job 👊
You got such gorgeous views wow…I can’t wait to tackle this mountain again in May time 😁
The voice of an angel...🤣🤣 A really nice video, thank you I enjoyed it.
If that angel was pulled through a mangle 😂
Glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Brilliant video. Would love to do this mountain. Might travel down next year from Scotland and give it a go.
That machine is always out of order.good video.
Good to know for the next time Graham, thanks! 😁👍
Successfully summited Helvellyn yesterday using this guide (my first Wainwright 😊). Snow capped and an absolutely epic and beautiful journey to the top. Again keep doing what your doing Jason and thank you very much 👍👏
Please note also that there is now no pay and display machine at the Wytburn church carpark. We just put a note on the dashboard of our car to that affect.
That's amazing Glenn, thank you for watching! You might have a few more Wainwrights to have a look at now 😁
@@robinsonsrambles Haha, yes. Just another 213 to go 😅 but you've got to start somewhere and Helvellyn was a good choice with views of many other peaks including Scaffel Pike 🏔️. I did meet a very nice old man at the top of Helvellyn who told me he'd been climbing them since he was seven years old and he'd done all the Wainwright's three times over 😲. An inspiration 👏
Always take a photo of the car parking machine which say's " OUT OF ORDER " and date it before setting off on your walk. just in case and save it. I've been up Helevellyn so many times and each time it's stunning, just a stones throw from my front door. Longjohns i thought your name was Robinson. 🤣
Good tip Charles! Hey, I could be Long John Robinson....😂
Great video, we were up in the Lakes for a hike and last week and I know what you mean about it being a bit nippy. At least the views were good. I love that camera you use, I've started a channel recently and I just use a GoPro. That one looks really good though. Anyway, you have a new subscriber! All the best, Andy
Thanks Andy! GoPros are just getting better and better and the picture is just stunning, I've been tempted myself recently! I've been using the Insta360 X3, although the clarity of picture isn't as good, I do like the flexibility of it 😊
Welcome! I'll have a mooch on your channel 😁👍
Easiest way up is by the miners track from Glenridding, just a nice steady walk right up to the summit and not steep at all. you do NOT need to go on striding edge!
Agreed! I tip my cap to anyone who does Striding Edge- done it once and that was enough 😅
Hi do uou have an address for the car park
The postcode for the one I parked at is CA12 4TW, but there is Swirls Car Park up the road too 👍
I climbed Helvellyn from Thirlmere when I was 11 years old. I can't recall it being much of a slog......but then RUclips didn't exist then..to make a drama of a straightforward walk.
It's much different when you're an out of shape 44 year old William! 😂😂 Hope you enjoyed it.
Abit of a snarky comment 😂😂
