The Eastern Fells occupy the region between the A591 Keswick to Ambleside road and the lake of Ullswater to the west. The Helvellyn range forms the main spine of the group. To the south across the depression of Grisedale Hause, is the Fairfield group of fells.
Helvellyn via Striding Edge then following the ridge to Grisedale, starting and finishing at the campsite opposite Glenridding on the banks of Ullswater. A day of fairly high winds (care was needed with progress on the tops and communication within the group difficult because of wind levels) with and added challenge of old lying snow requiring care and careful route choice. While I had climbed Helvellyn before on the previous occasion it was from the Thirlmere side, I had not visted the other peaks before.
