With the amazing weather last week lasting just up until the weekend, I decided to take the opportunity to get back over to the Lakes for the first time in about a month to tick off another Wainwright or two. I spent about an hour on Friday night flip-flopping over where to go, but finallyContinue reading “High Seat & Bleaberry Fell”

Silver How
After the best part of a month stuck at home at the weekend due to awful weather, we finally got back to the Lakes last week to tick off Wainwright number 40, Silver How. We’d chosen a smaller summit to get back into the swing of things, and this walk is short enough that youContinue reading “Silver How”
High Rigg
The weather in January can be a bit hit and miss. After a week of beautiful weather from Monday to Thursday (while we were stuck at work), on Friday the clouds started rolling in and on Saturday Storm Malik arrived. We therefore decided to play it by ear and make a decision about a walkContinue reading “High Rigg”

Loughrigg Fell

Therefore we put our Wainwright bagging plans into action and mapped out a full day expedition to tackle the Fairfield Horseshoe, which would net us 8 Wainwrights in a walk of around 5 hours. However, asContinue reading “Loughrigg Fell”
Castle Crag – An Introduction to the Wainwrights
As most people reading this blog probably won’t know, it was my 26th birthday a few weeks ago, and among the gifts I received were a scratch map and log book to record Wainwrights as I walk them. I decided that my personal goal for the next 4 years will be to tick off allContinue reading “Castle Crag – An Introduction to the Wainwrights”
