Wainwrights Round 2 completed
Posted: Sun Aug 28, 2016 7:35 pmWell, the day finally came for the completion of our second round of Wainwrights. To stave off boredom, we have spent this round looking to do the tops from different directions, including doing as many direct ascents as we could. As it stands, I have now done 146 Wainwrights via a direct ascent, so only 68 to go
By a strange quirk, the final 6 we had to do were the same 6 as our first round. So the haul out to Hardknott Pass was taken again, on what turned out to be a gloriously sunny hot day 
We parked at the summit of the pass and headed round to Hard Knott first, cheating a bit and leaving our packs in the car to be picked up on the way back past to Harter Fell 
It is only just over a 150m climb to the summit which we did quite quickly. - Hard Knott comes in to view.
- Cloud lifting off the Scafell range.
- Hard Knott summit.
- Scafells round to Crinkle Crags from Hard Knott.
- Harter Fell and Green Crag, our next & last two.
