Another day in Hell (Helvellyn)

 So after last weeks visit I decided to go back again and take my Dad 

We did the walk the "normal" route, up striding edge and back down Swirral. 

Its hard to compare the 2 visits as last week was in blazing sun, and yesterday was freezing cold and pretty windy not to mention so misty you could rarely see the top or the bottom of the mountain. 

Despite the conditions we still did the climb over the peaks without going around the lower paths. 

I just wish the weather report said it would be so cold so we would have been prepared but the weather warning said "wear sunblock"!!!

Dad is only wearing face mask to try and stay warm, not because he is mentally paranoid about covid up a mountain.
