Looking up the valley towards Raise

Paul all kitted out for the forecasted bad weather

The ski club hut etc. at the old Greenside mines

Our first  view of Catstycam from the footbridge, just above the mines

Another view of Catstycam from a little further along the path

Looking back towards the mine from the same point.

Another view of the mines from higher up the valley

Another view of the mines from even higher up the valley

Looking across to Raise and Whiteside

Paul admiring the view from the top of the zig zag's on the way to the tarn

Striding Edge, with Red Tarn just coming into view

Looking towards Swirral Edge from the tarn

Looking towards Helvellyn's summit from the col

Looking across Red Tarn to Striding Edge

The steeper face of Helvellyn

Looking along the ridge towards Catstycam

Birkhouse Moor and Ullswater from the summit of Catstycam

Looking across the Dodd's from the summit of Catstycam

Paul's last steps to reach the summit

Paul on the summit of Catstycam, wondering why he hadn't stayed in the pub!

One last look back along the ridge to Helvellyn before we descended
