Below Freezing Autumn Wildcamp | Hilleberg Soulo | Bad Weather | Lake District | Channel Update
I made this video filmed in 4k a couple of weeks ago but due to my Nanna passing away lately I am only now uploading it. I'm going to take some time out now to grieve and rest but i will be back with more adventures very soon.
Be safe out there people.
Chow for now,
Jamie.
Helvellyn via Striding Edge
I decided to make this climb up Helvellyn via Striding Edge to cross it off my 'bucket list'. At a height of 950 metres (3,117 ft), Helvellyn is the third highest peak in England.
I couldn't have picked a better day ... As I started up the mountain I was surrounded by thick cloud. However, at around 2,000 to 2,500 feet, I climbed out of the mist to see a spectacular cloud inversion.
Helvellyn is the highest peak on the north-south ridge situated between Thirlmere valley to the west and Patterdale to the east. This ridge continues north over Helvellyn Lower Man, White Side, Raise, Stybarrow Dodd, Great Dodd and Clough Head and south leads to Nethermost Pike and Dollywagen Pike.
The eastern side of the fell is geographically the most dramatic. Two sharp aretes lead off the summit, Striding Edge and Swirral Edge, either side of Red Tarn. The knife-edged Striding Edge provides one of the best-known scrambles in Lakeland, while the Swirral Edge ridge leads to the conical summit of Catstye Cam.
The conditions on the day made Striding Edge quite challenging as I didn't have crampons. I definitely would not recommend making this climb solo, as I did! I felt very vulnerable on Striding Edge, particularly on the last scramble up to the peak, through the snow and ice. A near death experience! The exit from the peak down onto Swirral Edge, was covered in thick ice making it too risky to even try a descent. I therefore made the decent via a longer but safer route.
Helvellyn is popular with fell walkers but conditions at the summit can be treacherous, even in summer.
There were 11 deaths on peaks in the Lake District last year and 14 in 2013.

Walking Striding Edge, The Lake District
Recently, some friends and I spent the day walking to the top of Hellvellyn in the Lake District. We left Glenridding in the morning and walked along Striding Edge to reach the top, before having some lunch and heading back down the other side.
This was my first time shooting in S-Log2, hence the dodgy colours and the loss of detail through de-noising in many of the shots.

Helvellyn via striding and Swirral edge / Stevenage Brinoy Trekkers
We decided to make this climb up Helvellyn via Striding Edge to cross it off our bucket list October 25, 2015. The route took in the edges, going up via Striding Edge and descending via Swirral Edge. Helvellyn is the third highest peak in England, at a height of 950 metres. As we started up the mountain it was surrounded by a thick cloud, we felt very vulnerable on Striding edge, particularly on the last scramble up to the peak. Helvellyn is popular with fell walkers but conditions at the summit can be treacherous, even in summer, there were 11 deaths on peaks in the Lake District 2014 and 15 deaths in 2013. Quite hard one this time, but rewarding. Finishing up with food and a pint before heading home. Thanks for watching.

Kayaking with Killer Whales - Crooked Compass
The best place in the world to kayak and observe Killer Whales or Orcas is in Johnstone Strait as they feed on the salmon running through off the coast of northern Vancouver Island. Spend time in the heart of killer whale territory where these graceful giants glide through the waters. Our tours include a hydrophone so you can listen to their vocal calls whilst watching them breach and fluke. Camping in full height canvas tents, enjoy gourmet meals from local produce and sip wine at sundown. As you paddle through the stunning scenery of Vancouver Islands’ own inside passage, your chance to witness these whales in residence is heightened. Weather permitting, you will have the opportunity to explore different islands in what is known as the ‘orca loop’.
