Eskdale, 4 days, 4 Wainwrights

This was my first trip to the Lake District with my new walking companion, Arly. My new four-legged friend bagged his first 4 Wainwrights on this trip! It was hot, and since Arly had to wear a big furry coat we walked early mornings and swam in the Lakes in the afternoons!

Wasdale Head, 3 days, 3 Wainwrights

After a 2 year "sabbatical" (during which time I mucked about in Scandinavia, ran a marathon, did some muddy runs, moved house and got a dog) I returned to the lakes to continue ticking off the Wainwrights! Weather was not ideal but I was able to complete and evening walk and then a lovely and challenging full days walk to complete 3 more.

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!

Threlkeld to Patterdale, 3 days, 14 Wainwrights

This trip involved three days of quite intense walking, in which I completed the Northen ridge of the Helvellyn range, and bagged a few extra peaks east of Patterdale. I wild camped in a quarry near Sheffield Pike on the first night, and stayed in Patterdale YHA on the second night.

The walking conditions were very mixed. On the Saturday I got fed up of walking in the cold and wet and dropped down into Patterdale where I had an afternoon nap... I woke up to find sunshine and clear blue skies, so put my lovely new osprey backpack back on and bagged a couple more peaks! As always, here is the breakdown of which Wainwrights I ticked off my list this time;
