Gowbarrow was number 1 in 1982, now on second round started on Knott (High Street). Things havent gone quite as planned this year......but had a great day out last week in the heat - Barrow, Outerside, Sail, Scar Crags, Causey Pike; trying to find those less visited hills at present.

Arthurs Pike I think.  Done it about 10 times now. Park in Askham at the swimming pool, drop £1 in the honesty box and set off. Either retrace my steps or go down to Pooley Bridge for a baked potato and a coffee or beer then back to Askham and a 35 minute drive home.

Skiddaw Metamorphic Aureole  :)


Would have been 15.
Did an O’Level in Geology, and the teacher, an inspirational fell running Boltonian, took us out on regular field trips all over the the place from Peak to Lake District.


Passed my Geology exams but couldn’t even get a job down the local pits!
Near miss as it turned out I guess  :o

Loughrigg Fell, on a family holiday aged 13....


First as an adult on my own trip to the Lakes was Helvellyn (a few years later).

Latrigg... As a virgin hiker I remember complaining about how far you had to walk from Keswick to the start of the climb  :2funny:

Binsey - my grandson’s first Wainwright today. :)  He was in a baby carrier which I hope is allowed as he is only 11 weeks old. 👶 We can’t wait till he manages them
under his own steam!

Scafell Pike from Dungeon Ghyll on 16th July, very hot day indeed but glorious! I enjoyed it so much I did Pike o'Blisco and Lingmoor Fell the next day. Have already booked my next trip!

;D Yes, a little stroll shall we say?! Unfortunately an ultra triathlon was on the same day with the athletes using that route to charge up and down Scafell Pike - so there was heavy traffic up what might usually be a more quiet route.

That first assent up Rossett Gill nearly did me in but after that things seemed a bit easier.
