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.
Led Tom and Jack on a hike and scramble from Patterdale, to Hole in the Wall, over Striding Edge to the summit of Helvellyn and down into Glenridding via Swirral Edge. Weather was warm and sunny with good visibility and light winds on the summit. This was a great walk in terms of physical fitness as we all needed the exercise!
