A rush up and down Helvellyn on the most glorious of days! In order to support Molly on her 'Lakes in a Day' ultra marathon, Tom and I, legged it up Helvellyn as quickly as possible, aiming to meet her on the summit...and we did. The walk, albeit rather less leisurely than I would have liked (4hrs 30mins in total, including stops - we were on a tight schedule), was absolutely stunning. The day was made by the beautiful light, warmth and an inversion, but also by the atmosphere of cheering the runners on and of course by Molly doing so well.
