Kentmere, 2 days, 5 Wainwrights

When I originally booked a trip to Kentmere in December I was expecting that crampons would be needed if I was to complete any Wainwrights, but mild conditions meant that I only saw a tiny amount of snow on my walk (and even some sunshine)! On the first day I walked from Stavely station to the camping barn at Maggs Howe, where I was staying, via Sallows. With short December days I knew time would be tight, so decided to do just half the Kentmere horseshoe to add four more Wainwrights to my list on the second day!
