The weather was good but wind and rain was expected later so the plan was a quick ride up Helvellyn. An early start ish of 9 o'clock at the carpark near Town Head. Started off by heading up Little Tongue to Grisedale Tarn at which point the weather didn't look too bad so change of plan. I headed down Grisedale to Patterdale then up through Glenridding, past the YHA up Glenridding Common (quick stop for lunch before the rain hit ) Next up onto the top of Helvellyn then down Birk Side back to the car, luckily I managed to dodge the rain.
Whilst heading along the Thirlmere valley I heard a new lamb bleating so went to investigate came across a Lamb stuck on a small crag. Hmmmm two choices take it home for tea or save it and reunite it with its mum. The second option won looks like it's going to be veg for tea :)
