Hi all,
I’ve recently had a knee replacement (6 weeks ago) and am already thinking about when I can get back up to the Lakes and continue my Wainwrights quest! I’d like to give something a go in a month or two. I’m going to be really limited as I’ll have to go easy on the knee so any scrambling is out. 😩 I’ve done a lot of the medium and high fells and I’m looking for recommendations for the easier Wainwrights. I have already done some of those (Binsey / Latrigg / Walla Crag / Brund Fell / Lord’s Seat / High Rigg / all the lower ones round Grasmere such as Helm Crag etc/ Loughrigg / Gowbarrow Fell). I’d like some suggestions for Wainwrights with fairly easy slopes, rather than just low height (I’d not stand a chance on the likes of Barf, Haystacks or even Catbells at the moment for example).
Anyone got any experience of post knee replacement walking in the lakes and can make any suggestions? Of course, I could stick to lake circuits and valleys but would like to try and get another couple of Wainwrights in the bag if I can. Thanks!
