Just returned from 3 days walking the WHW, Crainlarich to Fort William. The weather was wonderful and the midge’s kind, I thought I would post this message...
Hi Rob<br><br>Thanks for the info. The WHW is a walk I'd love to do some day, along with the Cumbria Way, the C2C, Cleveland Way etc. etc.! <br><br>One day,...
Rossett Pike completes AW's book four, Southern Fells. Strange that the first two of the 7 that I have completed are Northern & Southern Fells! 8.30am saw me ...
Hi Dave<br><br>Congrats on completing book four and enjoyed your TR on your website. Some great pics also.<br><br>You'll have to let us all know when you're...
Thanks, Paul. Don't worry about notice towards the end of the round, you'll get plenty of that 'cos I want as many as possible of you there! Some way to go yet...
I'm another on the side of the "No SIGNS" lobby. We should be able to work out where we are at any time, and also where we should be and calculate the ...
I was thinking about the subject of signs on the fells and agree with all who are against them. Everyone who ventures on to the fells should take a map and ...
I agree that there are far too many cairns on the Lakeland Hills. I think it appropriate that a summit is marked with a good cairn, by that I mean well ...
The few signposts that are already invading our Lakes drag us back to a reality that we have strived to escape from for a few hours. Definately in the 'no more...
Cairns exist for good reasons, they are not there for the fellwalker they were put there by people who lived and worked in the area.<br><br>Just like the ...
What would Alf Wainwright think if after spending many years researching his fells, somebody who had tickled the summit cairns claimed to have "completed" all ...
Yep, I know where your coming from with this argument. It would be very easy to wizz round the Lakes and touch base with every summit without actually seeing ...
Andy<br><br>I can see what you mean but I think it is up to each of us to decide how we get the most enjoyment from the mountains. Personally, completing the ...
Hi Pam,<br> I to, am glad that there are a few cairns on the fells. My wife and I got a little lost on Crinkle Crags last september, due to bad weather closing...
Hi All<br><br>>Surely, to claim a Wainwright it should be necessary to have ascended and descended all of the routes that Wainwright described?<<br><br>I...
I like cairns. There have been many times when I have greeted cairns like old friends and they have helped me get down off the fells safely. It is great to be...
I don't class myself as a peak bagger. I can see the appeal of peak bagging but it is not for me. <br>I like to visit new summits but I have lots of old ...
I like to see a cairn marking the summit, just because it saves me the trouble of working out which little piece of ground is actually the highest. Obviously...
I was a Peak Bagger in my Teens,when the sole objective was to climb all the Wainwrights,come what may.<br>20 years on,I must have reclimbed most of them,(many...
I didn't class myself as a "peak bagger" any more than a "Munro Bagger". But when you start walking over the hills, purely for the enjoyment you get, I believe...
Just returned from another Lake's visit,this time with the whole family.<br>The fellwalking possibilities are fairly limited when you have two children of 5...
Hi All<br><br>>Perhaps there should be two categories of "Wainwrights"; one for those who just like to touch each summit cairn, and the other for those with...
I made my special journey to Scafell Pike over the weekend as I have done every year on the first Sunday of September since the loss of Princess Diana. With me...
Paul has just put into words what has been the biggest appeal of the Wainwrights for Anne and me - by ploughing slowly through them, we've visited parts of ...
Personally I don't think it matters in the slightest what your motivation is.<br><br>Every time I go fell walking I like to do something slightly different,...
Hi Eric<br><br>>I don't always agree with TGM's opinions of the various tops, but he certainly gets us about!<<br><br>If AW was looking down on us now, I...
Hi Ian<br>Glad you had a good holiday. Some of our best holidays in the Lakes were when our children were small. As long as the walks were interesting and ...
Hi Ian, glad your holiday was good. Can I second your recommendation for Muncaster. It really is a wonderful little fell especially when the walk is combined ...
Thanks for your touching message regards placing the rose on Scafell Pike. You are right, there are a lot of people who "knock" the Royal Family - and I have...
