214th Wainwright Castle Crag Saturday 12th December 2015

[GazzerG]

Excellent TR and pics mate. Well done on the hitting the 214!

bag the ones i didn't do with Handsome Jack for one reason or another so he can complete his 214 as well   

That's a great idea, maybe revisit the clag filled summits and grab the views you where deprived of?  I know my revisit list is growing already

All the Wainwrights clag free, now that could be a lifetimes work.

Thanks Sussamb, even though ive done them all ill probably still get lost even with the GPS

Cheers Henry    i really enjoyed it and like Loughrigg its a wonderful little fell with lots to be had from it 




Ive just been adding up the Wainwrights jacks missed and ive got to 80, there are some great ones on the list and ones that even surprised me, Helvellyn for a start    ive been on it 4 times in the last two years and not taken Jack once which i am going to have to put right   
Out of the 80 there is only one that is making me wish i hadnt thought of this idea    Mungrisdale Common    i said i would never go back, its pointless and a complete waste of time

  @ Mungrisdale Common. It does have the Cloven Stone though and that is worth a visit along with a visit to Blencathra 

We must not let Karl organise the route when we go wild camping 

Here are a few of my pics from Rhino’s 214 day.

Winter at the deserted Seatoller NT Car Park. The Lake District is open for business everyone.

Well for claggy weather and such a colourless day - it looked a very jolly time. Certainly a grand set of photos from you all and a great TR Rhino. Well done on achieving your target and within such a short time.
I must admit I love walking and under all sorts of conditions (solo/small groups & big groups) but your Saturday looked to be about as good as it gets; good company, lots of laughs (usually at each other !), great little fell = memories to last a lifetime.

Poor Karl i am starting to feel sorry for him    anyway back to wild camping    You need to check out your new tent and the weather is looking like a really good test this weekend if you both fancy testing it out
