Beautiful colours there Amar.
Thank you Ian
Beautiful colours there Amar.
One of the upsides of changeable weather.... rainbows! There were plenty of these on show during our climb up to Catstye Cam.

I've always felt that CC is an underrated mountain - it's such a wonderful spot to take in the views of the Helvellyn Range/Dollywaggon etc.
I could be wrong but did you take the walk to the Hole in the Wall then cut across to CC from there? I just adore this place.
@Lefty I'd love to see your drone footage. I prefer Swirral to Striding I think, for a start there aren't usually so many people. Sharp Edge on Blencathra is just as good and generally quieter.
I'm compiling the footage as I type. Only thing to mention is it's not drone footage (the DJI Pocket 2 is a handheld gimbal / camera in one rather than a drone - see image below).
Agree re: Swirral vs Striding. I think that when my son is ready for Helvellyn, we will likely cross over and reach it via Swirral Edge and the come back the same way and tag Catstye Cam before heading back down and getting Birkhouse Moor as well
I would love to do Sharp Edge one day, but I feel this will likely be when my son is a lot older (at least 12).

Ah, I'm not obviously not up with modern technology The clue is in the name isn't it?
Spent today visiting an old friend (he was my Best Man in fact) in Cambridge today - the city I grew up in. So much has changed, but it was wonderful to take in some places from my childhood, namely Wandlebury which is where we as a family had so much fun, exploring the woodland. I haven't been back there in over 30 years, and so refreshing that so little has changed.
