Threlkeld to Patterdale, 3 days, 14 Wainwrights

This trip involved three days of quite intense walking, in which I completed the Northen ridge of the Helvellyn range, and bagged a few extra peaks east of Patterdale. I wild camped in a quarry near Sheffield Pike on the first night, and stayed in Patterdale YHA on the second night.

The walking conditions were very mixed. On the Saturday I got fed up of walking in the cold and wet and dropped down into Patterdale where I had an afternoon nap... I woke up to find sunshine and clear blue skies, so put my lovely new osprey backpack back on and bagged a couple more peaks! As always, here is the breakdown of which Wainwrights I ticked off my list this time;
