About this Adventure

Choose Wild HOG Adventures for a safe, enjoyable, and memorable day hike to England's third highest summit, Helvellyn. Our experienced Mountain Leaders will make all the preparations, leaving you to enjoy the adventure.

Quick Info

This adventure is a full day hike from Glenridding to the summit of Helvellyn and back, via Striding Edge and Swirral Edge. We will take care of all of the preparations, letting you know what to bring and when and where to meet up. We will provide route cards and maps of the route, as well as an experience mountain leader who will guide you along your route. A comprehensive risk assessment will be carried out, and will be shared with you in advance of the trip.

Helvellyn is the third-highest point both in England and in the Lake District, and access to Helvellyn is easier than to the two higher peaks of Scafell Pike and Sca Fell. The scenery includes three deep glacial coves and two sharp-topped ridges on the eastern side (Striding Edge and Swirral Edge). Red Tarn, between Striding Edge and Swirral Edge, is a popular tourist destination, and is often the furthest that visitors to the area will get. We will take you further, ascending the mountain in its entirety.

Check our calendar to book on to an existing Helvellyn hike. Alternatively, contact us to either request a date for an open hike, or to run an event of your own for your own group of hikers.

As with all outdoor adventures, there is a chance that bad weather will cause our plans to change. If this is likely we will contact you to make alternative arrangements - either for an alternative route on the day, or for a change of date to suit you.
