Night Curve (sunrise)

At night, the Helvellyn range is more familiar to me than anywhere else in the Lakes. Dunmail to Threlkeld is the classic night section on an anti-clockwise Bob Graham Round. The ideal is a clear sky, which takes away the anxiety of navigation, and if you are on schedule, can make it celebratory and a real pleasure. Dependent on timings you can have the added bonus of experiencing the sunrise.

The Bob Graham aside, a walk up Helvellyn to watch the sunrise is well worth the effort. If you pick the right morning it can be very special. The ascent from Wythburn Church is a good path and the most direct.
