Helvellyn, sticks & seldom seen - always have had this route saved on the Garmin but always seemed to miss out when it came to mates or other groups going up.

decided I was doing it alone but managed to get Rick along and also Steve and Darren from EMTB north west.

this route didn't disappoint and with the added angle tarn (coming up on a separate video) I'd say it's the ultimate loop.

it has absolutely everything from crazy ascents, unreal single-track, strep and technical descents and the views are just incredible especially on a day like we had.
