Striding Edge, Swirral Edge, Catstye Cam

After a monster night out in Windermere we set out with an unsteady gait to teeter on the rocks of Striding Edge. Good idea? Maybe not.
The weather came and went with some rain, snow and then cleared up whilst having lunch on Helvellyn.
This has got to be one of my favourite walks and, despite the crowds on Saturday, it was thoroughly enjoyable. We waited for a crowd-free pocket and then strode out, edgily, making sure we made footfall on every single mini peak! It was huge fun.
