CUHWC Glenridding Trip

5th June 2009 to 7th June 2009

The last CUHWC weekend trip of the year was to Glenridding, staying at Gillside Farm. I did three contrasting walks in the Eastern Fells: Glenridding Dodd and Sheffield Pike in sunshine on Friday evening, Helvellyn via Swirral Edge in hail and snow on Saturday, and Helvellyn again via Striding Edge and the Grisedale Horseshoe on Sunday!
