Old Man of Coniston

Since the days are still a little short, last weekend's walk was the relatively short venture of The Old Man of Coniston, Dow Crag and Brim Fell. Walk diary with route and pictures now up in the menu to the left.

'Big 6 in 2016'

So it's always good to have a goal. Like climbing 214 Wainwrights. But we also have a sub-goal for 2016 to give us some direction, and that's to prioritise the 6 highest Lake District fells, and make sure we climb them this year. So, among others we're going to be doing Scafell Pike, Scafell, Helvellyn, Skiddaw, Great End and Bowfell. Not all at once. But it should make for some interesting walking and hopefully some good pictures.

Black Crag & Holme Fell

So the December weather has been a bit rough in The Lakes to say the least, and with Christmas and everything else we didn't manage to get out walking until the middle of January. What was meant to be a gentle stroll on some lower Wainwrights turned out to be a bit of a winter wonderland. With these two peaks we have now done 10% of all the Wainwrights. Route and pics now up.

Cat Bells and friends

A sunny bank holiday and some time off allowed us to get out and tick off Cat Bells, Maiden Moor, High Spy and Castle Crag. Click the link in the walk diaries to see the description and pics.

Troutbeck Tongue

After a month off we finally managed to get out walking at the weekend. The weather was OK but a little drizzly so we decided to tick off an easy one that neither of us had done before. My route and pics are now up in the 'Troutbeck Tongue' page in the menu to the left.

First walk diaries up

Ok so I've finally got round to doing my first walk diaries.

A couple of easy ones, Loughrigg/Badger Bar and Sallows/Sour Howes, and also the first visit to Haweswater to bag High Street and High Raise among others. I'll be heading back to Haweswater at some point as there are other Wainwrights to do that weren't on my route.
