Got an answer to the following Walking/Hiking question?

Helvellyn for a 5 year old child?

Hi, I'm in the area and decidedly less interested in the tours and towns that have been suggested to me, but far more interested in Helvellyn as someone by chance mention to me in London. Implicit in this question is that I'm not really prepared, that said I do have waterproofs and suitable footwear...more pertinently I'm with my 5 year old. Could this peak (or even part of) be at all feasible? I'd need to buy a compass and OS map. My experience of climbing an actual mountain is nill though I have hill walked in the highlands up some distance (whilst almost 8 mths pregnant the last time), and we are both adventurous and fit. Thoughts welcome! Thanks, Dani
