A walk up Helvellyn via Striding Edge

As some of you might already know I have been tearing my hair out (well not literally, I don't have any) why you may ask because I had lots of great footage of me and the other half walking and scrambling across Striding Edge.  Trying in vein to keep the video time down I eventually gave up and did a 17minute version all cut and ready for transitions, when I thought nobody going to watch this and so I copied it into another vid production and edited with veracious  clicks of the mouse cutting out bits I like and hopefully leaving in better bits.

So after pain staking hours of doing this watching and deciding what to cut out, it was done I just had to add music the nightmare began all over again, trying to pick music to a master piece and add the wow factor was going to be hard as by this point I was well and truly sick of looking at my video after all I must have seen each part hundred times.  So without blabbering on about how I cut it and added music and turned down the sound and added a little volume to my voice and tried in vein to get the mix right well if you haven't seen it get it watched make me feel better and if you like it don't be shy hit the like button on youtube thanks and I do hope you have or going to enjoy it.  Full report of the trip coming soon.
