5th May 2008 - Helm Crag 

Fantastic, sunny day. Started at Grasmere for 6-7 miler up (and up) Helm Crag (1300ft), along to Gibson Knott and the seemingly never-ending ridge walk to Moment Crag and the long descent to Greenburn.

It is quite a tough walk as the 3 miles on the ridge is a constant 'scramble'. But it's wonderful too!

At the Helm Crag summit. It's known as the 'Lion and the Lamb' as you can see on the left.

The next summit is called the Howitzer

Another summit, another cairn.

Finally we reached the end of the ridge and made our way down to Greenburn

Greenburn tumbles over many waterfalls on its way to join the River Rothay and on into Grasmere
