 Welcome to the Film My Runs Summit Club. We often call it the New Year Summit Club. This is the New Year's Eve Summit Club. We have in the past climbed Snowden twice and Scarfell Pike. Today we'd love to do Ben Nevis. Unfortunately it's a bit of a long journey for us to get all the way up to Ben Nevis on New Year's Eve. So here we are in the Lake District about to climb Helvellen. So I think that's the third highest mountain in England. I think so anyway. Helvellen is our is our goal today. It's not actually that far. It's about three kilometers to get to the top of of Helvellen from this car park. We're in Swirl car park on the edge of Thirlmere Lake in the Lake District. So three kilometers or so, 900 or so meters of elevation and then we'll be at the top of Helvellen. And me and Ellis are going to try and run up there. A little gentle jog to get us going. Right let's see what this sign says. Helvellen Stanna Sticks Pass. So this way across the bridge. Let's start off nice and gentle. We've got our poles. It's going to be very steep very quickly. It's not raining is all I can say. We're just over a kilometer in. We've climbed about 300 meters and you can see Thirlmere Lake down there. It's taken us 26 minutes so far. I'm going to get very foggy, very short. Okay we got about meters 800 meters from the top and it was really really blowing a gale. So we came back down so it will be even windier on the top. So let's see how far we can go. But I don't think we're going to make it to the top today to be the top priority and especially if we're taking kids with us. We're going to put them in any risk or we don't want them to feel so always best to be on the safe side. All right Alice you're glad to be making it down. How was that for you? Horrible? No it's not cold it's just really windy wasn't it? It's a lot wetter and colder now than when we started. But now that we're out of the wind it feels a bit nicer. Just too windy up there. As everyone comes up the path we're telling them it's too windy you'll be turning back. Maybe some of them will make it to the top today. Elsa was that waterproof? So abandoned trip to the summit of Helvellen. Maybe if I'd gone on my own I'd have maybe made it to the top. But with the kids just too dangerous. Just too windy. So we've gone as far as we can and we've come back down back in the car park now we're going to get changed, get into dry clothes. We're going to drive to Ambleside and have something nice and warm to eat and drink. All right so that's it from the Summit Club for 2021. We'll see you for Summit Club 2022. Maybe we'll go to the top of Ben Nevis in the summer. you
