WAINWRIGHT’S LOST TOUR
HELVELLYN SUMMIT (SUMMER) A mountain’s popularity does not always equate to the size of its summit cairn. Helvellyn, third highest in the Lake District, is visited almost every day of the year, yet only a small, insignificant pyramid of stones marks the plateau summit. A short distance away, a small stone memorial tablet commemorates the landing of an aeroplane, piloted by Bert Hindle and John Leeming, on the mountain plateau on 22 December 1926.
