I've always got lots of Lake District plans bringing them to fruition is the problem.
 
The one place I would like to tackle is Sharp Edge as I have not done it yet.

As I haven't reached double figures yet there are plenty of Wainwrights to go at just need to find the time to get over there.  Tend not to do lists but its the only way to be sure I don't miss any ::)
 
Edit
OOPS just checked and I counted 11 :o

The main one for this year is to walk and wild camp the Bob Graham. The rather mental other half intends to run it in the next few years so it's intended as a recce for that.
 
I'd like to do some more around the Newlands Valley and I've only done Scafell Pike once (from Langdale-in dire weather) so I'd like to do that again. I guess the above boxes both of these off to a degree though.
 
I'm dying to up the scrambling this year. To get something like Pinnacle Ridge done would be amazing [goes off to shop for courses]...

I'm aiming to finish the Wainwrights by the summer - 43 to go - most of those I haven't managed yet are in the West and North West. Also having done 24 of the 36 routes in Stuart Marshall's "Walking the Wainwrights" I will do the other 12. My first targets for the year are
 
The North Central Fells
A Stonethwaite Medley
The Newlands Watershed
A Whiteside-Grasmoor Round
The Loweswater Fells
 
I aim to leave Low Fell & Fellbarrow to the end and try them on a pleasent summer's evening!!

top priority this year is to complete the Wainwrights which I shall do by June!!
 
Next is to finish most of the remaining Lakeland Nuttalls so I can finish the English Nuttalls next year As part of that is to climb Pillar Rock this year.
 
After that its going to be doing new routes up the hills I've done; Jacks rake (never done!), Blencathra via Halls Fell ridge (never done!) oh and the Honister via ferrata  O0

Got 3 days booked in Keswick with my better half starting 11th April, so going to concentrate around there.  Weather permitting there are four I want to bag;
 
-Skiddaw
-Catbells (after enjoying a cruise on Derwent Water)
-Causey Pike
-Walla Crag
 
If I have the time wouldn't mind fitting a fifth in too!

Message for Cogstar - I have done Sharp Edge (hence my name) but I would be up for a meet where someone knowledgeable took us across. I remember having to pluck up the courage, knowing that once you are half way across you might as well get it done because it is tough to turn round. I was also so focused on the rock that I forgot all about the gulley up Fowle Crag and struggled upwards. I was a mightily relieved man when I finally got to the flat ground I can tell you. In fact I was so proud of myself, I went and had a beer afterwards O0


Some time after the end of June would work well for me, so cancel all your holiday plans ;D
