During the week long eXped we completed a 37km round trip spaced over 3 days with 2 wild camps at Grisdale Tarn and Keppel Cove respectively.
We managed to bag 13 summits, had lunch in a bivvy cave half way up a mountain crag, experience some changeable weather with snow on all the high summits, leave 2 friends behind who traveled to Scotland for the summer to work, but best of all I some how by chance bumped in to my girl friend on the summit of Helvellyn (England's 3rd highest peak ).
The summits we managed to reach are: Angletarn Pike
High StreetThornthwaite Crag
Stony Cove Pike
Fairfield
Hart Crag
Raise
White Side
Helvellyn Lower Man
Helvellyn Summit
Nethermost Pike
Dollywaggon Pike
