Route Outline
This Lake District walk takes you into the heart of the Helvellyn range and includes an optional ascent of Catstye Cam, which is sadly very rarely the main objective of a walk. The walk uses well maintained paths throughout and although no summits are included you get that feeling of being right there in the middle of the 'action'.
