Joking aside I agree about the hill being a magnet for lemmings, mind you the lakes in general is getting serious. I have lost count of the number of times I have been asked the way by folk without a map, or by parents trailing equally ill equipped kids. Education and publicity is perhaps the way forward but then again some people are just plain dense. <br />Cheers, DavidDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061493122424534813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739575111461729992.post-87767631138116229252014-04-04T06:04:30.602-07:002014-04-04T06:04:30.602-07:00Hi David. Excellent walk and some great pictures.
...Hi David. Excellent walk and some great pictures.<br />Helvellyn seems to be a magnet for lemmings. The last time I climbed Helvellyn – which was from Wythburn about three years ago – the summit was covered in snow and ice. Coming down towards White Side I was approached by a chap wearing trainers and a Magpies football shirt with his wife and children in tow. None of them was wearing a scrap of mountain gear. He asked me if they were on the right path for the summit.<br />What do you do about these people? They are a danger to themselves, their families and others.<br />Cheers, AlenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
