    If you're visiting Nethermost Pike, chances are you're tagging it onto Helvellyn! It's a great addition to your hike. Views to the Scafell Range to the west are simply impeccable on a clear day. You also get a great vantage point to appreciate Striding Edge.

      Fantastic views all round, but especially of striding edge, brilliant place to camp with plenty spots, although a bit rocky in places. Also just a short walk to Helvellyn summit.
