Helvellyn (G/LD-003) 3117ft asl
This cache and other similar caches were originally for Radio Amateurs, who are taking part in the "Summits on the Air" programme. All the Summits in Britain are catalogued and Radio Hams "activate" them by transmitting from the summits. As they are hidden on mountain tops they will be of interest to geocachers who are fell walkers. The cache, which is very basic, consists of a plastic box with a logbook, pen and qsl card.

Well given the muggles and gale force winds surely a difficulty 2+ is in order, or was it just the altitude and wobbly legs!!
Probably my highest cache, certainly one I have walked the furthest for!. I wanted to go up Helvellyn on our break and wondered if special training was needed!! Was surprised how much easier it was to get up than it was to get down; my knees really really didn't like the way down!!

TFTC, great bit of history which we would have otherwise missed without the slight detour to the cache. Great views of Striding Edge too; our way up was much easier, although I would have like to have tried it!

Great walk up here from Resignation, followed by a nice red wine at the top. The cache is very well hidden, but obvious after a few circles!

The highest cache I've done (I think), well it must have been high as Berrow Cachers was steaming like a racehorse when we got to the top.

We left a TB that we picked up from the W-s-M mega......

good walk and scramble from glenridding over striding edge in the clouds, nice hiding place which took me longer to find than it should. not many people in attendance though due to weather, and very poor visibility. took TB no sign of geocoins. thanks for the cache

Came up Grisedale to the tarn then up to Dollywagon & Nethermost Pikes before getting to cache. Very bad mist, poor visibility, but found place then cache after a bit of a search. TN but left our new TB, George, the Dragon to start his adventures as cache seems quite busy despite being near a summit!
