Dollywaggon Pike, Nethermost Pike, Helvellyn & White Side - Tuesday 22 June 2021
Route
A591 - Swirls - Squirrel Trail - Red Brow - Raise Beck - Grisedale Tarn - Dollywaggon Pike - High Crag - Nethermost Pike - Helvellyn - Lower Man - White Side - Brown Crag - Thirlspot - A591
Parking
Free parking in the lay by on the A591 between The King's Head at Thirlspot and Swirls Car Park. The grid reference is NY316173 and the nearest postcode is CA12 4TN.
Mileage
10.7 miles
Terrain
Generally good mountain paths throughout although I descended directly from Brown Crag to Thirlspot to meet the Browncove Crags path coming in from the left. It is easier to continue on the path north west from Brown Crag towards Fisherplace Gill to reach Thirlspot. I just fancied an off piste descent today.
Weather
Superb visibility for most of the day - warm & sunny in the morning then overcast towards the end of the walk.
Time Taken
6hrs 15mins
Total Ascent
3425ft (1044m)
