North Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Walks at the moment: We are trying to finish the Birketts, just 30 left out of 541 including Pillar Rock as the finale. Finished the Wainwrights in 2013, last one Slight Side. We enjoy walking in the Yorkshire dales, having done most of the 2,000ers in the old boundaries that was once North Riding and interested in the Nuttalls - keep adding the lists. Welsh 3,000 also lots of good stuff to do in Scotland - plenty of summits2do MAIN BLOG PICTURES PLEASE CLICK TO ENLARGE ALSO CLICK OLDER BLOGS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE FOR PREVIOUS YEARLY POSTINGS

BIRKHOUSE MOOR, HELVELLYN

Another loose peak we had to pick-up - Birkhouse Moor at the bottom of Striding Edge on Helvellyn. New way for both of us from the Grisedale valley up to the hole-in-the wall on Striding Edge. A few people out heading up to Helvellyn, very cold on Striding Edge, snow on top. We headed back down to Birkhouse Moor and a little peak at the bottom called Keldas, warmed up near the bottom. Great short walk, beautiful views over Ullswater and St. Sunday Crag.
From left to right: Striding Edge, Helvellyn, Swirral Edge and Catstycam. Red Tarn is hidden from view.
Yes, this is Birkhouse Moor
