Around Thirlmere 3-day backpack report/photos uploaded from Monday to Wednesday.
A circuit of the mountains around Thirlmere, ascending via Tarn Crag to High Raise and the Ullscarf ridge and returning via the Helvellyn ridge.
It was a dull and hazy weather system and we are now into October, but nobody told the midges. They were dreadful climbing Tarn Crag in the calm warmth, fortunately there was a light breeze on the tops.
The paths on the Helvellyn ridge were quite a culture shock after so many trips in wilder places, it's been a few years since we were last there and it felt like walking along a road.
