Dad's doing a triathlon later in the Summer that goes over Helvellyn so wanted to have a look at the route in advance. Had about 90 mins to kill while he did some of the cycle route so trotted up St Sunday crag at a decent effort then dropped back to the car at Glenridding. Up Helvellyn at an easy pace with Dad. Had been bright sunshine up to this point but very heavy rain started as we hit the tarn on the way up. Jackets on and the rest of the loop was a little miserable. Lots of very underprepared people on the hill without waterproofs. Heard some thunder just as we got back to the car so glad to have finished
