WALK NOTES

A plaque on top of Helvellyn records a very interesting occasion. It reads "The first aeroplane to land on a mountain in Great Britain did so on this spot on December 22nd 1926. John Leeming and Bert Hinkler in an Avro 585 Gosport landed here and after a short stay flew back to Woodford".
