5 reviews for Climb Helvellyn, via Striding Edge

Everything was just so smooth. All was organised perfectly from the beginning to the end. Even with -2 degrees over the night I felt really warm and enjoyed so much the trip post lockdown in the Lake district: scrambling the striding edge of Helvellyn. It was even luxury to have our own individual portable loos in order to avoid any covid transmission. Stuart is a chill guy but at the same time really organised

Organised exactly the right way for people arriving straight from London. All instructions were very clear, Stuart was always very responsive. The hikes were fun and very smooth. An authentic travel plan for a weekend into the mountains from the city! I recommend!

Had a wonderful weekend hiking in the Lake District with City Mountaineering. Stuart looked after us really well, the accommodation was comfy and I felt confident in his guiding despite the weather conditions and some trickier sections of the hike. Looking to book another trip with them soon!

Perfect weekend away with city mountaineering to Glenriding. Ticked off Striding Edge on my to do list. Everything ran smoothly and Katie who guided was full of knowledge.

An amazing trip as always with city mountaineering. Striding edge now ticked off my to do list. Fantastic guiding by Katie, making me want to go back and learn more.
