Quod oculus meus videt

By GrahamColling

A Little Research

The walking and peak bagging I achieved last week has renewed my interest in trying to complete all of the 214 Wainwright fells.  I know time is ticking, I'll be 65 next year, but I've bought a couple of books which claim to provide the most efficient routes to reach each of the fells in as little as 36 walks.

I tried using the one book in the past, but was a little perturbed that the author suggested routes that went over private land, with no discernible paths that allowed access.  As a result I've bought a new book called "Peak Bagging Wainwrights" by Karen and Dan Parker.  They also provide a link to download the routes to popular digital mapping apps and I'm currently working through the routes while the rain continues to lash down.

It doesn't help that I live three hours from the Lakes, but at least I already have 60 fells ticked off after my efforts of the last few years.  It's probable I will have to retrace my steps in some cases but it would be lovely to think I could complete it before my fell walking days are behind me.
