Summit Height:
405m

Where?
Lake District

Friends, Families and Blog followers (honestly, I doubt I have any Blog readers who aren't friends or family, but it sounds good anyway), will know that in 2010 I started walking the Wainwrights, in the hope to 'collect' all 214.  I used the long weekend gifted to us thanks to a certain royal couple getting married as a chance to get a few more summits in.

Mel, Nick and myself stayed at Grasmere YHA, and spent 3 days walking, during which time I 'bagged' 8 more mountains, hills and fells, including the third highest in lakes; Helvellyn and my favourite of the weekend Helm Crag.

I won't go into any more detail here since I have a seperate Wainwrights Blog, but I wanted to feature Helm Crag as my mountain of the month due to it's impressive and lovely scrambly/climby summit.
