Helvellyn, possible meaning; pale yellow moorland, is a mountain in the Lake District, the highest point of the Helvellyn range, a north-south line of mountains to the north of Ambleside, between the lakes of Thirlmere and Ullswater.
This walk we did to Helvellyn's summit traverses both Striding Edge and Swirral Edge and is a great Lake District walk. This is the classic route onto Helvellyn and starts from Glenridding. Striding Edge is not for the feint hearted and should be treated with respect. 9.5 miles / 15.4 km hard walk/climb with an ascent of 3250 feet / 985 metres.
Striding Edge is on the left.
It almost looks like he's being crucified but this is his last resort 'attack pose'.
Those long arms are good for a swinging blow and throwing but not much else.
Water striders literally skate along on the thin surface layer of water.
Water molecules are so attracted to each other that it is hard to penetrate. The water strider has tiny hair-like extensions on the ends of its legs increasing the leg surface area and spreading out the pressure which allows them to skate on the water.
