Wainwright's Lakeland Fells

The Wainwright Fells Challenge

I have been walking the mountains of the Lake District since the early 1990's with no real objectives other than to enjoy spectacular walks in the beautiful scenery the Lake District provides. However, one of my Christmas presents in 2007 was the complete set of Alfred Wainwright's Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells. Since then I've been reading his illuminating books and now I have finally decided to follow in the footsteps of him and countless other walkers by completing the 214 fells described in his seven books. Follow my challenge here as I attempt to tick off all 214 fells one by one. Some are done already and each one completed has a link to the particular walk where that objective was reached. Thank you.

Heights in the chart are derived from modern technology data sheets (updated OS/ GPS) so some heights in feet will differ from Wainwright's original statistics.
