Errm, incidentally, why is it "Tour de Helvellyn"?
Shouldn't it be "Tour of Helvellyn"???
Unless the French have invaded and I've missed it....
Shurely shome mishtake! :closed:

It actually says 'Le Tour' on the website!
Blimey.
Bon chance.
Et vous, Le F. F. !
Wheelbase do that tour de Staveley bike race thing as well. Why the need for the French slant?
Anyway. Just plotted a route on memory map and its 36 miles and 7900ft of ascent. Does the elevation sound right by others recconings?
I was trying to count the climb on the OS map
I got 2000m ,, though for a spell I was counting contours as 5m instead of 10
So, something over 2000m
When I firast heard about this I had a look and the route went off to High Row and the coach road then had some road up Thirlmere
I think Sticks and the forest tracks will make a much better route
Isn't Helvellyn a big mountain in Cumberland?
I'm only looking for fun........
Looks good.
Tracklogs says 2530 metres of climbing.
I've thrown my hat in the ring.
Occasional ramblings http://sometimesridesbikes.blogspot.com/
votre chapeau dans l'anneau, please
More - it says Le Tour De Helvellyn - En Hiver
now,
I don't know where Hiver is ,
and I can't find it on any of the OS maps of the Lakes...?
Is there perhaps another Helvellyn (probably pronounced "Elle-vell -eeen-ah ") somewhere in France ?
