"Striding Edge" in the English Lake District is a narrow ridge on one of the approaches to Helvellyn (950m/3,117ft), it is a tricky traverse and over the years several people have fallen to their deaths.

One noted instance is that of Charles Gough who was killed there in 1805 made famous by the fidelity of his dog which guarded his body until the skeleton was found some months later. The romantic poets wrote that the dog was sustained by "love sublime"............................. are you thinking what I'm thinking?
