  • For some great walking in the Lake District, Trev is being shown to the 3rd tallest mountain in the area, Helvellyn for some more mountain hiking.
    Trev from Summit or Nothing is pleased to be back up in the Lake District, for some more Mountain Hiking, and this time with none other the legend CZcamsr Alan Metalman for a weekend of Hiking and Wild Camping, and their first outing is up the mighty Helvellyn - England's third tallest and the nations favourite mountain.
    Taking the most direct - yet steepest - route up to the top, from Swirls Car Park near Thirlmere reservoir, the lads absolutely dash up to the top - getting to know each oter whilst taking in the incredible views, and summiting this amazing mountain.
    Summit or Nothing is a great hiking channel, with Trev and friends documenting their conquests and outdoors adventures of hiking, mountain hiking and wild camping in some of the UK's most beautiful National Parks. So SUBSCRIBE now to keep up to date with our hiking vlog!

    Great video, nicely shot, and despite the weather you got some stunning views. Alan is a great bloke and really easy to get on with, so the perfect walking partner, especially if you are new to the ground. Loved his video. Also loved having two different videos, each with their own individual style, of the same walk.

    Haha, that was brilliant Trev, really enjoyed it and brought back great memories of a really enjoyable day. Blencathera is still waiting (as is Sharp Edge) and a canny wildcamping spot at Scales Tarn on the way up. If you fancy it, next time you are up give me a shout. Cheers Alan

    I'm sure you'd have no problem with Striding edge in normal conditions! Nice gentle ridge to get started on IMO, and other than 1 small section called the Chimney, it's all got side routes so you're not right on the edge. 👍🏻

    Awesome video Trev!! Helvellyn is my favourite of the Lake District’s mountains that I have done unfortunately like you I didn’t get the view from the top but I did just a bit lower. I did it over Striding edge and off Swirral edge and it was awesome! Hopefully you’ll get to do that someday. Think I missed you by a day as I went home on the Friday and you did Helvellyn on the Saturday. Keep up the great work!! 👍🏻👏🏻😊

    @mountain_del1863 Před 5 lety

    Great video and content. Lovely that the weather changed and you two had a great day. Done it a few times with the boy. Thirlspot farm is pretty decent if you don’t fancy a wild-camp, it’s almost at the foot of the hill and decent £. Striding Edge is a great route too if you fancy some more thrills, but as you say, it’s a cracking tab no matter where you do it from. ATB. P.s What’s the wee intro tune? It’s magic!!!!!!!!!

    • @SummitOrNothing
      @SummitOrNothing  Před 5 lety +1

    Awesome Trev... Was waiting for your half of this adventure... Bloody steps would kill me.. Both of you need to come here and help me get up Cloud Peak (only 13,200 feet / 4023.36 meters). Amazing views 😀 Going down that trail would just kill me for a few days but I think it would be worth it..👍👍
    Although I have seen several videos of hiking Helevellyn they are all unique. You and Alan did it proud.

      @HikeCamp Před 5 lety +1

      Both of you feel like old friends and I have never met either of you, but I know we would hit it right off like we were always best of friends... In case you are seriously interested in Cloud Peak as a future summit here is a link with some good information... www.hikingproject.com/trail/7034182/cloud-peak-route It has been a goal for 30 years but after my knee injury I knew I could not do it... The two of you would likely at least have to help this busted up old guy back down... LOL

    Great video mate! I love Helvellyn. In particular, the route from Glenridding up over Striding Edge, up to Helvellyn summit and then back down Swirral Edge. This is great walk and very popular. I've done it several times and it is a good challenging start to get into ridge walking. If you are ever in the area again, I would be happy to accompany you! :) ATB JD

    • @SummitOrNothing
      @SummitOrNothing  Před 5 lety +1

      My knees have been a lot better since I been using knee straps - I carry the poles in case they get bad, but to be honest, I walk with the camera tripod in hand for ease of setting up a shot (I know, I know, priorities and all that haha). That does often double up as a walking aid though!
