HELVELLYN WINTER CAMP
A walk/scramble along Striding Edge on a very cold day up to the snow covered summit of Helvellyn. A Temperature of -5 with a wind chill of -11 means for necessary kit to be out in it for the day. The Fjallraven Abisko Lite 2 tent held up well as normal keeping us safe from the elements.
Stay safe out there

The clarity of the picture and audio is just "top notch" and the quility of the editiing so professional. I feel as if I am there with you. If this video doesn't help you with the award then I don't know what will!. Both your's and Blue's love of each other and appreciation of the outdoors is just amazing. The only other thing to say is "what no beer?"

Just finished watching this after I finished work , thank you for sharing such a fantastic video, looked an absolutely awesome day and night there , this place is so special for me personally along with blencathra , my dad died last year and instead of moping about I decided to get out and get into the mountains which my dad loved doing , blencathra he was meant to do blencathra via sharp edge but was snowed off it and he never got a chance to go back so when he died I went and finished the climb for him , as for this 1 , my friends persuaded me to go to this 1 to distract me from my grieving , this was actually the 2nd time over stridingedge but sadly I suffered from vertigo and didn't complete helvellyn, this time I did get back , March 2021 I think just 2 months after I lost dad , I breezed stridingeedge but I suffered a bit on the last scramble to the top, was mentally and physically drained , I'm sure my dad helped me with that last push to the top and WOW!! those views!! Freezing cold day but not a cloud in the sky , perfect, I videoed it, its on my channel somewhere , feel free to take a peek , not as awesome as yours but not too bad , thanks again for sharing its brought back some great memories of my climb there , sorry for the long comment 😄

Nice 1 Al . Another brilliant camp in the mountains . Helvellyns a beautiful mountain - My favourite mountain . Me & Andrea spent my 50th atop it , drinking coffee and eating Birthday cake , chatting with walkers out enjoying the best the lakes has . Apparently more people climb Helvellyn compared to any other mountain to watch the sun come up - hence its AKA 'Sunrise Mountain' . The tent shots in the morning , and Blue doing Blue were great . It doesn't get much better does it . I can 100% recommend the 'Sausage sandwiches' mate at the cafe at the Visitor Centre car park in Glenridding (If memory serves me right its called Fell Bites) - BEST i've had in the Lakes . Merry Christmas Al , and all the very best to you and yours for 2023 .

Your vid here is the nearest thing to reality and my wife could not believe I walked over Striding Edge and was continually exclaiming " Oh my God ! " . Thank you for your superb vid of Helvellyn , giving me the pleasure of seeing what I actually did and my wife also 👍. Incidentally , we set out at 6am and got the walk and mountain to ourselves all the way . We reached the summit and could see the crowds coming in the distance . We had 20mins of great views ( it was in May ) before cloud descended and rain set in for the whole descent. Great memories 😊
