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. Helvellyn is my 6th and final Furth Munro (in England).chillyman826/03/2023

As part of the Thirlmere Trot hill event I ran over this top and the others to Greenup Edge, making sure of main tops exc the Howitzer, then boggy Ullscarf to High Tove. Down to Thirlmere sand dam, up Sticks Pass to Raise, Whiteside and Helvellyn exiting via Grisedale Hause to Little Tongue (?) and back to Grasmere. Warm and sunny all day. Tough, but ran the levelish and downhills,niallp27/06/2021
A short sharp push from Whiteside to get Bec to 213. I like this summit and this whole walk was the walk I did (in reverse) the day I first met Bec so brought back some good memories from before our journey started together and now only 1 to go. From the summit we made our way down over the Stang and the chimney path stopping near Stang end for some dinner. On our way down we saw a red deer while Bec was having a wee. From the car we took the longer way back to stop at tee bay to get a bottle of Haystacks for the final one. At home we went to my dads 60th birthday party and on Sunday had dinner at the d&p then after England beat Croatia in the Euros I spent all afternoon in the hottub in our new nice garden. What a great weekend. 1 more to go and 1 week to go.Scotty 2 Hotty12/06/2021
