I Went To Helvellyn And Back On This Ride

Strava Link -   / strava  

If I had heard of any of the rides in the Lake District before, it would definitely be Helvellyn.

It's one of the bigger mountains in the area and has numerous ways up and down. We opted to the most straight forward route for this first visit, going up and back down Birkside.

This turned out to be great, so I'm already looking forward to trying out some of the alternatives in the future.
