Well done TEA, particularly for going back and making sure on the ones you may have missed on your first trips. That's dedication to a cause. Your reports have added some suspense and excitement to a couch bound winter for me. Will he make it? I should have had faith that the hero always triumphs in...

Having enjoyed your reports to date TEA, I have to applaud your ability to keep up the momentum, even when feeling quite so 'tetchy'. Your challenge has turned into a real test of character. A mental challenge as much as a physical one. It almost has the feel of some of the epic expeditions us Briti...

Awesome. That looks like a day to make you feel glad to be alive.

Shame you didn't get a clear day for Bowfell. I do think opting out of the climbers traverse in these conditions was wise, you would have had to stick to the scree next to the great slab as well because if wet it would become the slide to oblivion :shock: As for my discovery :sick: the rain will ha...

Chris one of these days you might just post a report that doesn't leave me jealous!

Magnificent.

Good report and a great place to be for the views . It's a great shame that you didn't get the weather on this trip but maybe next time Thanks Trailmasher. To be honest it was quite nice to have a bit of time in the clag. Its been a long time since I had to navigate in mist, so always good to get a...

Thanks Dav, This site is great for giving ideas for walks that might not have occurred to me. I would never have thought to attack the Langdale's from Grasmere, but having seen this and the report by Pamfox you refer to it now seems an obvious and really good way to mop some up I haven't already don...

Thanks Chris, I think one of the joys of the Lakes that I guess you cant match in Canada is that you can arrange most walks to end conveniently by walking into a pub for things like fish and chips and a very nice pint. Having seen your great pictures of a moose a couple of weeks ago the end of one o...

Not the most original route, or the most sparkling photos. So feel free to look away now.... our_route.gpx Still here? Well here at least are 10 things I learned from a classic route around Bowfell, Esk Pike and Rossett Pike, on a cloudy summit day. 1. Bowfell is a monster. Taking it on up the band ...

Awesome stuff again Chris! That's really not a bad part of the world you are getting to explore.....

Congratulations to you all. An awesome family achievement to treasure.

And as always great photos and report to go with it.

Every part of that looks awesome. The scenery. The wildlife. The geology. The whole package. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys,

The kids were troopers all day. One of those days you will remember where they don't get tired and grumpy, and everyone has fun.

Fleetwith Edge is a really good way up a mountain. Going up you still get the views - it's steep enough to need frequent stops.

George

our_route.gpx Now he has turned 8, I had to give in to requests from my son Dougal to go on a proper mountain adventure. Up to now he has only had a trip up the local hill of my childhood, Benachie, and lots of scrambling on rock at the beach in Banff where I grew up. So together with the more expe...
