The Unforgiving Side of Helvellyn: a true, Wintery tale from this mighty peak

As we're not fair weather walkers, it's our responsibility to take all practical precautions to keep ourselves safe: knowing the route, knowing when to turn back, & having the right kit can go a long way in keeping you safe in challenging conditions

5 minutes of our jaunt to the summit, with windchill of -12c, windspeed of 45 mph & poor visibility showing the realities of the Cumbrian summits we love when the weather is bad

It looks breath-taking from the valleys in January: a dusting of powdery snow, but what does it feel like?
Can you see?
Can you find your way?
