- In the absence of Mi Julie, my son and I decided to tackle Helvellyn in the Lake District via Swirls Car Park.
Thanks to Alan MetalMan for the inspiration for this Hike. His channel is linked.

Great video lads. Thanks
Brings back good memories and when I saw that mist rolling in over the summit, I thought, here we go again lol. Real pleased that you got some superb views from the summit and on the way down, looked a cracking day. Thanks very much for the shout out, cheers Alan
Cheers fella, a week on and I can't get it out of my mind IT WAS JUST AMAZING. All the best Alan.
Thanks for the video. Awesome
Nice video, thanks for sharing.
Nicely put together video, what stunning views, thanks for sharing
So glad you got the views, you are a pleasure to watch, keep the channel going, it will grow.
That's very kind of you, thanks so much 🙏
Brilliant 👍🏻
Thanks very much
Fantastic work boys 💪🏼
Thanks Georgia
Did the self same route last year, going down to Wythburn much easier than retracing route back to Swirls, which we'd done in 2021, but the forestry road seemed never ending. Had the delight on the descent of looking down on RAF planes doing low level flight along Thirlmere.
Sorry for the late reply, thanks for the comment. I agree the walk back seems to last hours 😂
Nice video buddy. You say a lot of what I say on our videos. We also highlight mental health. We hiked Scafell pike yesterday for a mental health charity & posted it on our channel.
Good job lads and alan is some fella gets all over the place im doing this again my self this week with someone that hasnt done it and must say not looking forward to the breathing hahahaah subbed 👍
class footage bro 👌
Thanks Matt, I'm new to this and still very much learning how to do a video of interest. Once again thanks
Awesome video and scenery matey.. 👍🏻
Time to get my backside motivated, lose some weight and try a few gentle ones, maybe do this one day... 👍🏻
Thanks, go do it mate, honestly it was amazing.
No words. 😶❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️⛰️ MH Therapy 🤝👌
Thanks Tony
@@bodgeroutdoors3161 I'm doing the exact route with a camp at red tarn tomorrow. Great insight pal ,Brilliant thanks 👍🤝
Nice way in that striding edge makes the pooper twitch
Ha. Ive done this route twice. Next time will via the edges, wish me luck lol
Nice hike and views ✌✌✌🍻
Can you tell me how many hours you done it? Thanks Adrian
Hi Adrian, Just over 5 hours. The views were amazing. Thanks for watching and all the best.
9:00 Nice view.... and here's me looking for Swirls car park... (Wish I'd have known just travelled back from Inverness through the Lakes etc etc)
Hi, sorry but not sure what your message is about.
@@bodgeroutdoors3161 I'm not the easiest to understand.... lol....
I've just returned from Inverness running the Loch Ness Marathon - and very much in the mood for some thing new...
and If I'd have known about a route (from Swirls Carpark) i'd have ventured out too and explored - hope that helped
Hat sounds like a Teesside accent great video
Hartlepool 👍😁
Went up today with guys from work. A filthy wet day (The sun came out just as we got back down 😂😂).
Cracking day though. Took us 3 hrs 15 mins car park to car park, but we weren’t after setting any speed records 😜.
That's a good time if you ask me 👏 👏 👏 especially in the rain 🌧
It was 3 years ago and still not achieved with Striding Edge?
Nice T-shirt
One of my fav bands 😁👍. Thanks
Is there a link to the map of the route you took? Dying to do this in a couple of weeks with the family.. we’d ruled out Helvellyn due to Striding Edge but this looks really do-able! 😍
Hi. I will see if i can find you a route
Went just last week with the family. We are novices but it was doable via Thirlmere. The entrance is Swirls car park and from there is a well-defined route that is easy to follow. It took us 4 and a half hours up and down including rest stops. It’s breathtakingly beautiful; the wonders of God’s creation! Have a wonderful time.
Doing helvellyn next week with my dogs, do you have the map of the route you did looked Easy enough for me and the dogs x
what was the total distance and how long did it take?
How long did it take to get up and then how long to get down?
From what i remember about 5 hours
Gromit looks bushed
😂 He needed an early night 😴 😴 😴
From Swirls Car Park can you walk up to the top without having to do the edge part?
That is correct
@@bodgeroutdoors3161 thank you so much! Given me the confidence to get up there next weekend!!
@@samhurley4934 its a bit of a slog but a really simple hike. I done it again about 6 weeks ago with the wife. You will love it. Promise. Let me know how you got on.
@@bodgeroutdoors3161 oh I definitely will .. roll on the emotional wave when reading the top!!
@@samhurley4934 the wife cried lol
How long from car park to summit?
2h it took me today
