Helvellyn - the first ascent  - Sept 2002
Set off from Gillside campsite in Glenridding. Some blue sky visible!
Got to Red Tarn and still looked clear, so we headed up Swirral Edge
Got to the top. Mist down, wind howling - no visibility, time to come down!
Back down, knee trouble for my companion hence walked down backwards to the Travellers
