Today's walk: Helvellyn


Thirlmere from the Swirls path


.. now pitched most of the way up Browncove Crags


the slopes rising to Helvellyn from the col with Lower Man


proof I reached the top!


the shelter just below the summit


looking from the shelter a ghostly figure appeared on top and disappeared silently into the mist


an important junction - left for Grisedale Tarn - right for Wythburn


still in the mist when the forest appeared below


.. but soon a misty view of Thirlmere


the pleasant path back to Swirls


reflection in Thirlmere of a hill which is in mist from this viewpoint
