		... the vale narrows; the mountains become steep and rugged, with streams of boulders down their slopes; and. presently, we are under "the dark brow of the mighty Helvellyn."
		...
		HELVELLYN.
		Helvellyn is the monarch of the lake mountains: Sca Fell is a hundred feet higher; Skiddaw, Sca Fell, and Helvellyn are all over 3000 feet; but neither of the others is such a big, swelling, giant of a mountain as Helvellyn.
		We are too close to the Monarch to see his crown: our road lies under his vast shoulder; but we cannot pass him by. We must leave our box-seat [of out coach], and breast the hill, prepared for two or three hours' hard climbing.
		The best way to see the mountain in its grandeur is to follow the track that leads up by the Red Tarn. ... two sloping walls of rock, the Striding Edge, and the Swirral Edge,- edges indeed, for they are simply steep, narrow, broken pathways on the top of each wall of rock. If you are a good climber, and not apt to become giddy,
		Page 21:-
		you may make your way up by one of these edges; but beware of a false step on either side of the narrow pathway; one such step, and you are plunged down a precipice of a hundred feet.
		There is a touching tale of a traveller who attempted the passage on a snowy day and fell. Wordsworth tells the story in a poem beginning -
		"A barking sound the shepherd hears."
		On the summit of the mountain there is an awful stillness; not an insect hums in the air; we no longer hear the roar of the mountain torrents; not a blade of grass is to be seen; cushions, or tufts of moss, parched and brown, appear between the huge blocks and stones that lie in heaps on all sides; the snow lies here for half the year. now and then.

		... No mountain in the district is, we believe, so often climbed. Its central situation renders the view attractive on every account; it is very conspicuous; and it is not difficult of ascent. According to the Ordnance Surveyors, its height is 3,055 feet above the level of the sea; that is, 33 feet higher than Skiddaw, and rather more than 100 feet lower than Scawfell Pike. ... There are two cairns on two summits, not far apart, from between which, in an angle in the hill, the best view to the north is obtained. These Men, (as such piles of stones are called) mark the

		dividing line between Cumberland and Westmorland. Northwards, the view is bounded by the Scotch mountains, with the Solway at their feet. Nearer stands Saddleback, with Skiddaw a little to the left. Kepel Cove Tarn lies below, with Catchedecam on the right. Eastwards, Red Tarn lies immediately below, between its two solemn precipices. Ullswater shines beyond, its nearer bank fringed by Gowbarrow Park; and Crossfell closes in the view afar. The Troutbeck mountains here peep over Striding Edge. Kirkstone and Fairfield rise to the south; and over the latter, there is a peep at Windermere, and sometimes, in clear weather, a glimpse of Lancaster Castle. Esthwaite Water and the sea in Morecambe Bay are seen at the same time. Blackcombe is caught sight of through Wrynose Gap; and the Coniston range and Langdale Pikes lead the eye round to the superior summits at the head of Wastdale and Buttermere. Even Honister Crag is seen, in a hollow, a little to the left of Cat Bells. Derwentwater is not seen: nor, from the higher Man, either Thirlmere or Bassenthwaite; though the two last are visible from the lower Man. Six lakes are seen, besides many tarns:- Ullswater, Windermere, Esthwaite Water, Coniston, Bassenthwaite and Thirlmere. Angle Tarn is particularly conspicuous, while its neighbour, Hays Water, is hidden in its hollow under High Street. The streams it sends down to Brothers' Water are however, very conspicuous when the sun is upon them.

		Description of Scenery in the Lake District, by William Ford, published by Charles Thurnham, London, et al, 1839; published 1839-52.
		... THE Lake district ... consists of large masses or clusters of mountains, generally terminating in one aspiring and pre-eminent point, with the intermediate valleys occupied either by lakes and their subsidiary tarns, or by winding rivers.
		The chief nuclei of these clusters are, Skiddaw and Blencathra, Helvellyn, Fairfield, Coniston Old Man, Blackcomb, Scafell, Gable, Red Pike, Grasmoor, Grisdale Pike, and the Langdale Pikes. Many noble and commanding mountains rise around these, rivalling them in height and grandeur, but still
		Page iv:-
		serving as large buttresses only. In the presentation of endlessly-diversified forms, these Mountains yield to none, however individually inferior they may be, owing to their being seldom seen in a detached point of view; although, on the other hand, they have thus the advantage of forming combinations at once grand and sublime, towering above each other, or rising in ridges, like the mighty billows of the ocean.
		Page 45:-
		...
		... The Horse Head inn is an excellent resting-place, and a guide, at a moderate charge, can be obtained here for the ascent of Helvellyn, which is most easily accomplished from this place. ...
		Page 46:-
		At the very beginning of the ascent, there is a beautiful cascade on the stream, which is dashed down the steeps of Whelpside. The summit cannot be seen from the road, neither is the mountain itself seen anywhere to so much advantage as some others, from being crowded in on all sides by lofty compeers. Striding Edge and Swirrel stand on the east, Whelpside and Dolly Waggon Pike, with the Middle Tongue, on the west, embracing many noble eminences, beautiful villas, and sweet habitations, within their shadows. The ascent is long, but neither difficult nor dangerous. Arrived at the top, a vast tract of mountainous country is overlooked; the most prominent objects, and those seen with the greatest distinctness, are the lofty mountains as they point towards the sky. Behind these vast masses are hid many interesting scenes, while beneath and beyond are vistas of variously mingled landscapes, whose parts are indistinctly seen. Looking north, Skiddaw and Saddleback appear over Whiteside and Styx; at its foot are Keppel Cove Tarn and Red Tarn, on the edge of which Gough's remains, after having been watched over by his dog, 'through three months' space,' were accidentally found by a shepherd; the middle and lower reaches of Ulles Water and Place Fell on its borders; Angle Tarn and the Calcades (sic) falling towards Hartshope, which cannot itself be seen; and then the tops and ridges of St. Sunday Crag and Dolly Waggon Pike. Far away to the south,
		Page 47:-
		Windermere, Coniston, and Esthwaite, the Lancaster Sands, and Yorkshire mountains, fill the horizon; in the west, the Langdale Pikes and Wry Nose rise beyond Wythburn Head; the Scafell Pikes, with Great End and Lingmell, the Borrowdale mountains, Glaramara, and Great Gable, stand in bold relief against the sun's declining beams. The Derwent mountains complete the circle, the surface of Bassenthwaite glowing like burnished gold, and the lordly Criffel lifts his azure head over Solway's foaming tide. Helvellyn is three thousand and fifty-five feet above the level of the sea.

It is, however, certain that these mountains retain snow many weeks after Skiddaw; but that may be owing to the steepness of Skiddaw's northern side, and shivery surface, that attracts more forcibly the solar rays, than the verdant front of Helvellyn, and so sooner looses its winter covering. A thousand huge rocks hang on Helvellyn's brow, which have been once in motion, and are now seemingly prepared to start anew. Many have already reached the lake, and are at rest. The road sweeps through them, along the naked margin of the lake.

	hearsay	You might see a Brocken Spectre from the top of Helvellyn, when a low sun casts your shadow on mist lying below. The shadow is exactly your size, but the effect of perspective makes the shadow, at a distance, appear huge.
	hearsay	John Dalton, the scientist, climbed Helvellyn once a year for about forty years:- ... to bring into exercise a set of muscles which would otherwise have grown stiff. Once, caught in mist, they were slowly descending when Dalton exclaimed:- Not one step more! There is nothing but mist to tread on! Saving the party on the cliff above Red Tarn.
