Friday was forecast to be such a gorgeous day after all the rain that’s fallen up here we quickly organised a day off work and drove around to Glenridding to go for a walk. Our route took us up towards the Hole in the Wall, visiting Birkhouse Moor on the way, down past Red Tarn and up the north-eastern ridge of Catsycam on to Swirral Edge and Hellvelyn Summit. Last time I was on Hellvelyn was my BG! It was a very good day, clear visibility, snow patches in places including one at the top of Striding Edge. We then turned for the van and descended over Whiteside Bank and Glenridding Common past the YHA. A great walk out, I was still one of the fastest walkers on the fell despite taking it very easy!!
We then spent the weekend with family over in North Yorkshire visiting Sutton Bank and Brimham Rocks.
