Helm Craig from the other side to yesterday. This tim from the main Ambleside to Keswick road

 

Yes Matt that way up "Great Tongue"

Not really we took a less steep option just to the right

The way to the top - but that not the top, there's more to follow once you get there

 

Tongue Gill waterfall and me

 

"The Blood Trail"

We met an ederly gentleman on his way down with a very bloody hankerchief wrapped around his index finger. We discovered that he had ripped the top of it almost off but with little guideness from him (he is/was a GP we managed to tape it together enough for him to make further progress. He was more bothered about the telling off he was going to get from his wife than the stitches needed

Gridale Tarn - the top

at least as far as we were going. We had proposed that we continue up to Helvelyn and back down Striding Edge but what thes pictures don't shw is the 50MPH wind gusts we were experienceing.

Not a day for Striding Edge.

St. Sunday Crag

 

The route to Dollywagon Pike - the route we would have took if heading for Striding Edge

It's either Matt or Map study time
