If it's Friday, then it must be time for the Friday Matinee, our regular helping of outdoors streaming video.

After a recent sneaky trip up to tackle a stunning Striding Edge in full winter conditions, we thought we'd have a Helvellyn in winter  nostalgia fest, so here's some wintry views to whet your appetite for the weekend.

Here's a very snowy summit plateau from back in 2008, check out the views along Striding and Swirral Edges and down to Red Tarn.

And speaking of Striding Edge, here it in during some typically blowy winter weather and looking well scoured and properly bleak...


And even more bleak, proper goggle conditions this time.


And what the hell, not Helvellyn, but here's Sharp Edge on Blencathra from early this month. Wow...


And that's all for this week. Enjoy.
