  • I guess that a little bit of wife swapping would create some heavyu tension in the area. Maybe after ten or twenty years, such a thing would be considered normal.

  • Hi John, another good album. Polly certainly looked as if she was enjoying herself. I must admit, I didn't know who Alan Hinkes was either, so a lesson for me as well. Best wishes, Dave L.

  • It looked a cold windy walk, but you were obviously well equipped and thanks for telling us about Alan ( and how to spot him)Sue

  • A great album John. I wouldn't have recognised Alan Hinkes but I think I have been to one of his lectures. Jill

  • Brilliant pictures John. Glad Polly didn't go much closer to that cornice. Jayne

  • Andrew, Alan Hinkes is the first (and so far, the only) British climber to climb all 14 of the world's 8,000 metre peaks. He finished his round on Kanchenjunga a couple of years ago. Alison Hargreaves might have beaten him to it had she not died on K2 a few months after climbing Everest.

  • I feel rather small at not knowing who Alan Hinkes is to be honest! He sounds like a typical British "jolly good fellow". Anyone wanting to disappear off the east side of Helvellyn over a snow cornice must be mad, or worth knowing! You get to do some great walks, wish I was there. Cheers, Andrew.

  • Dear John, Thanks so much for showing us these pictures from today Knowing there was so much snow on Helvellyn I wondered all week if you would get up there. Lucky you to meet Alan too Its a walk I'm sure you'll remember. Take care now, Jill

  • Sadly, no, Jo. Polly seemed in awe of the great man and his companions. Actually I think it was because they ate standing up whereas Polly prefers to beg from people who are down at her level!

  • Great photos, John. Sure looked cold up there! Did Polly manage to beg the odd titbit from Alan Hinkes' entourage?! Jo

  • Great pictures from a fantastic walk John. I wish it had been as bright at lower altitude in the south of the county. Dave B (ofc)
