We had a blast hiking Helvellyn, my 2nd time up there and was fun to try a different route and take Swirral Edge first but I think I prefer the other way around. We parked in the main big carpark in Glenridding.

We travelled about 130 miles to do Helvellyn and all we saw was fog and more fog. Never the less it was a lovely weekend.. We'll try again in 2023

Ah that’s a shame - it was the same on my first hike of it and it’s a 5hr drive for me too. Good luck for 2023!

Looks like you got a great day for it, would love to get back to the Lake District and hit a few hills. Only climbed Cat Bells so far which was spectacular.

We did! I love Catbells but yes get up there and explore more 🙌🏻

Well done Grace & Louie ⛰️..I live in the Lake District & have been up since 3am preparing to get out onto the mountains for daybreak but the forecast is for extensive low laying blanket fog so that's today's adventure abandoned,safety is paramount if not just for myself but for that of others if anything untoward was to happen & I needed rescued..never seen Helvellyn so quiet as on your video 🤗..look forward to your next adventure 🏔️

@GracesAdventures Жыл бұрын

Sometimes it’s not meant to be! We were really lucky with the conditions on the day we did it and set off at 6am to avoid crowds 😊 hope you get up there soon!

You’d be better getting some proper advice @She Freely Roams from someone experienced, Grace’s videography is ok, but she’s not qualified to be giving any advice whatsoever when it comes to this subject

I didn't realise there were so few trees up these hills.

Not many trees on UK mountains! Was lovely seeing tree covered canopies in the smoky mountains.

Love the video guys! Which of the two scrambles (swirral edge and striding edge) would you say is the easiest to get DOWN?

@GracesAdventures Жыл бұрын

They both have tricky parts so doesn’t make too much difference but and even if you start on striding edge you have a down scramble at the end to then ascend up to the summit! So both the same really in my opinion 😊

@markfawkes6943 Жыл бұрын

@@GracesAdventures Thank you, Grace, for some great tips. I think I'll be fine over the actual edge, I'm ok with the bad step (or chimney, is this the same thing?!) and the scramble up to the summit. It's getting back down that scramble that is playing on my mind for some bizarre reason! But it'll be fun - I'll keep watching great content like yours and it'll work out OK!

@Rosietheginger Жыл бұрын

Can you get to the summit without going up one of the tricky edges? Is there a safer way for nervous nellies x

@MBC1955 Жыл бұрын

Plenty. You can follow the ridge from the north or south, or any of the western approaches are ultra-safe but be warned, they're ultra-dull too.

@GracesAdventures Жыл бұрын

Yes there are a number of routes up where you can avoid the ridges, check out All Trails or OutdoorActive 😊

Good on you Grace, another good video. You chose a nice clear day. Striding edge is spectacular from that direction. Grace I think you'd do well with a mini drone, to capture your photography (?) because you have a real talent for editing. Just a thought. Stay safe in the hills.

@GracesAdventures Жыл бұрын

Thanks Peter! I do have a drone which I use in some videos but it was too windy on this day sadly!
