During my recovery from Covid in 2020, I had this series of Alfred Wainwright hiking books of the Lakeland Fells to distract me. I started planning out different options for an ideal hike.

Five years later, I was delighted to complete the loop, by making it to the top of Helm Craig. It's a beginner hike for the locals, but not as easy for me. But I made it.
