November 2010 – Helvellyn via Striding Edge, Lakes
Adie, Ste, Tom and I went for a quick 2 day stroll up a slightly snowy Striding Edge onto Helvellyn, then across the tops for a wildcamp by Sticks Gill. Woke up to a light dusting and quite chilly temperatures before wandering back out to Patterdale for a pub lunch. My new -15C PHD Hispar 500 sleeping bag passed with flying colours!
