Helm Crag

Walked on 28/04/2014

Start Point: Roadside parking near to Helmside (NY 332 096)

Helmside – Greenburn – Pike of Carrs – Gibson Knott – Helm Crag – Bracken Hause – Greenburn – Helmside

Distance: 4 miles     Total Ascent: 442 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 30 minutes     Start Time: 10:45

Weather: Calm but dull, 13°C

The weather wasn’t too great again this morning, in fact the sky was leaden but it was perfectly still. Most of the higher (and the lower!) tops were lost in mist but we didn’t fare too badly up on the Helm Crag ridge.
