Catstye Cam from Glenridding. Birkhouse Moor - Catstye Cam. | sms.37 | 19/01/2024 |
Catseye Cam and Birkhouse Moor from Glenridding. Very cold and windy | Winter Round | 15/12/2023 |
With Izzy and Margo. Walked up from Glenridding, a steep-ish start but not too bad. The good weather had brought the crowds but apart from that this one was enjoyable. Recommend visiting the large cairn to the north east of the true summit for the views over Ullswater. Onto Striding Edge. | James McKnight | 25/11/2023 |

on my way to Helvellyn summit | Nozzer | 04/04/2023 |
Stayed in Toddhills Travelodge, Saturday night, met Alex McBride in Glenridding on Sunday 26th. We headed up to Birkhouse Moor first, past Red Tarn and on to Catstye Cam. They up via Swirral Edge to Helvellyn, had lunch in the X wind shelter, then over Lower Man, Whiteside Bank and up onto Raise. From Raise we descend NW, checking out the ski tow then rejoining the path at the old mine workings. Alex continue on for Sheffield Pike, while I dropped down to the hostel and back to Glenridding. 
 
06:35hrs all in, Helvellyn had intermittent clouds, but good views in between the clouds and on the other smaller hills.

Walked over to here after turning back from the start of Striding Edge a few times (turning back was always the plan, as it was misty and drizzly, and I'm a relative novice) - but it kept drawing me back... | Barns150 | 10/09/2021 |
