2024-04-14 Cold Pike and Pike OBlisco_680nodes.gpx Back in the Lakes for a week, with three Wainwrights left to complete the set - perhaps I will finish them this week... Last few visits to the Lakes have been without the dogs, for various reasons, but this time we decided we would bring them - so ...

2023-08-31 Caw Fell, Haycock.gpx After yesterday's long and exhausting walk, I did not have high expectations of achieving much today - but we awoke feeling a lot better after a good night's sleep, and decided to at least set off up Caw Fell, since we were not likely to be so close to it again... C...

2023-08-30 Steeple.gpx Day two of our short Lake District break, and we were feeling confident after yesterday's successful walk that we might be able to tick off one or more of the other local fells on my to-do list. The plan was to set off up Steeple, with an option if things were going well to c...

2023-08-29 Great Borne, Starling Dodd, Red Pike.gpx A short stop off in the Lakes on the way back from a party in Scotland, staying in Ennerdale Bridge. The plan for the week (well, three days) was to try to tick off some of the more inaccessible Wainwrights in this area - in particular I was hopin...

Pointless Parasite wrote:Nice photos. Any ideas which hill you will complete on? From the remaining ones, I guess Steeple would be the best.

I plan to finish on Castle Crag. The kids have said they will all join me at the summit...

2022-04-29 Bakestall, Skiddaw, Little Man.gpx Lorraine took a day off today, so I was walking by myself. A beautiful day - my plan was to park at the end of the Skiddaw House road and from there climb Bakestall - one of my two remaining Wainwrights from the Northern Fells book. https://farm66.stati...

2022-04-28 Great Calva via Great Cockup.gpx Having exhausted our local supply of unclimbed Wainwrights, we had to look further afield to tick off the next ones. We were feeling reasonably fit and raring to go, much more energy than yesterday, so set off towards the "back o'Skidda" to see ...

2022-04-27-1025 Wansfell.gpx So we might have overdone it a bit yesterday - we were both rather tired and aching this morning. Plus Lorraine had a meeting she needed to go to in the afternoon (apparently she hasn't quite understood what being on holiday means), so we seleted a (very) short walk tod...

2022-04-26 Red Screes, Middle Dodd, High Hartsop Dodd.gpx After a fairly gentle start yesterday, we felt capable of something a little bigger today - the plan was to head up Caiston Glen to Scandale Pass, then decide based on energy levels which out of Red Screes, Middle Dodd, and High Hartsop Dodd...

2022-04-25 Hartsop Dodd.gpx First day walking in the Lakes this year, and needed something relatively small to get a gauge of where we are at fitness/health wise. Hartsop Dodd was right outside the door of the cottage we are staying at, and seemed like it would fit the bill. The ascent we selected ...

20210822093347-21183-data.gpx We've been looking at this one all week, wondering if it was going to be a bit beyond us but also wanting to get Great End and Esk Pike - my highest and hardest remaining Wainwrights - ticked off. The previous days walks from Seatoller had felt about at the limit of wh...

2021-08-21 Fellbarrow.gpx The weather forecast for today was pretty dreadful (though it turned out to be not nearly as bad as claimed), and anyway we needed to go shopping for new boots (and various other items of equipment that had proved sub-optimal over the past few days) before we could do any ...

20210819094307-21183-data.gpx It seemed rude, when staying at a hotel called Glaramara, not to climb the mountain it is named after, and today seemed like it might be the best bet for views during our stay, so we set off with the intention of climbing the Grains Gill path to Esk Hause then back dow...

2021-08-20 Seathwaite Fell.gpx Walking from the hotel again - plan as for something a little shorter than yesterday, which had left us both pretty tired, but it turned out to be almost as long... As yesterday, we set off towards Mountain View and the start of the path through the fields to Seathwai...

2021-08-18 Bessyboot.gpx Back in the Lakes (because where else is there to go) - unusual for us to be here in August, but it does mean no worrying about getting back before sunset. Also staying in a hotel rather than a cottage, as a reward for putting up with each other for 25 years... Making a gen...
