Starting Our Wainwright Journey

It wasn’t exactly a conscious decision at first. We weren’t sitting over a map one evening, plotting out the grand challenge of ticking off all 214 fells in Alfred Wainwright’s Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells.

Instead, it just… happened. One walk here, another there, and before we knew it we’d climbed a handful of Wainwrights without even meaning to. Somewhere along the way, we realised how much we were enjoying exploring these iconic hills and decided it was worth keeping track.

This blog is our place to document the journey, the well-known peaks, the hidden gems, the good weather days (and the soggy ones), and all the little moments in between.

We’re not in a rush. There’s no stopwatch and no strict order. Just a love for the Lake District, a pair of walking boots, and a growing list of summits we’ve stood on. Here’s to seeing where the trail takes us.

We don’t live near the Lake District, so this page won’t be updated every week. Instead, it’ll grow bit by bit, whenever we manage to get up there for another adventure. No rush, no pressure – just a love for the fells.
