    Tips

    November 25, 2022

    The third highest point in both England and the Lake District, Helvellyn at 950m is a massive summit. There are great views in all directions and the routes to get here all feel like a proper challenge. The summit features in many a mountain race and can be accessed by the scrambly ridges of Striding Edge or Swirral Edge or more runnable tracks.
