Helvellyn: A Grand Scale Trail

Do Helvellyn without the edges / ridges!
An 15km / 9 mile loop to the summit of another classic Wainwright, Helvellyn. Helvellyn is England’s 3rd highest mountain at 950m / 3,118ft.
On this Grand Scale Trail we will ascend from Thirlmere, passing Lower Man before reaching the summit and descending over Nethermost Pike and Dollywaggon Pike.
This route is one of the "easier" ways of climbing Helvellyn, without any significant scramble, however, we will be climbing 925m / 3000 ft. Although you don't need to be an experienced hiker, and we will pace it for the slowest member of the group, a good level of fitness is required.
You will be able to experience a true mountain trail with an experienced Mountain Leader, enjoy spectacular views, and ultimately feel an incredible sense of achievement.
Our price of £45 per person (£85 per couple) includes?
A small group atmosphere (max. 10 participants per leader)
Fully guided walk with a professional and knowledgeable Mountain Leaders.
Full details of what to wear / bring and where to meet.
An Abigail's Grand Scale Trails Certificate upon completion.
Children over the age of 10 welcome, with an accompanying adult.
Dogs (well behaved and agile) welcome.
Please arrange your own transport and accommodation, if required and check our kit list for essential items. Although we hold Public Liability Insurance, we recommend taking out personal travel insurance to cover this, in the event of cancellation.
Please ensure you have read and agreed to our NEW Terms and Conditions_2025 and GDPR Privacy Notice prior to booking.
