Itinerary description
Way up through the striding edge from Glenridding to Helvellyn. Very beautiful landscapes and fun hiking! So far it's the best hiking trail I did in Lake District. Some parts are quite steep.
PS1: It's not for beginners - in particular I do not recommend for people afraid of height and ledges.
PS2: doing the reverse way looks more challenging/dangerous. Instead, we did the way down to A591 road (where there is the Swirls car park and a bus stop).
