Only just caught up with these photos, John. They are great - particularly the ones of Sharp Edge. I might do the Edge again one day ... but definitely not with my dogs! Jo

A superb album John. I really enjoyed the shots of Helmut on Sharp Edge. What a fantastic day for him to start his holiday. Jill

That was a good album John, loved all the action shots on the edge itself, too often you get the longer distance ones which don't quite portray the rock as intimately as it is. Lets hope Helmut's further adventures are just as fruitful. Andrew

Great set of pictures John, am so glad Helmut is seeing our fells at their best this week, fingers crossed that the weather holds for him.

Great pictures John, especially those on the the edge. The descent of the Sharp Edge deep into the days walking was a great challenge for Hemut. Regards, Dave B (ofc)

Dear John, Wonderful! I've been waiting all day thinking when's John gonna load his pictures LOL Great ones of Helmut in action on the edge Can you imagine the complaints if a handrail really was put in place! He's set himself a challenge for sure with his schedule and it looks like the weather will be on his side. Sue you'll be meeting up again in the next few days. Take care now, Jill
