Helvellyn - Take 1

Set out to bag Helvellyn today. Alas, too much wind to reach the peak and we had to make the ever disappointing decision to turn around with only 100m of ascent to go! We were up at 850 meters in about 80mph gusts and being lifted off our feet so it was sadly inevitable. Still, good lesson learned given that the group was relatively inexperienced.

Here's the map of the route and you can also check out the en-route vid at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Th0HHkjllJI

I've got a date with the peak sometime soon!!!
