"Hi
Anyone walking the wainwrights on here?"
I did when growing up, every weekend. However, now I'm unable to do the fells I get out to do flat walks or ones with a decent path. However, trying to find a parking place in the lakes is awful and it's quite busy too. I tend to avoid and stick to the coast or the fringes of the lakes. |

Yea parking is a huge issue even in the 'off season'. i try using the buses as much as i can now. Its quite nice being sat on the bus trundling through from village to village enjoying the view though. Most of the popular walking routes now have a bus service passing by, so just need to plan according to that. |

I found my love of hiking a couple of years ago and climbed Catbells for my first Wainwright in May 2023. I then decided to attempt all of them before 2030.
I'm currently on a whopping 3 Wainwrights lol
I should be on 24, but the universe had other plans

"I still need to sit down and work out which ones I've done and what's left.
I know I've done alot of the main ones and the outliers
Thats good going all the way from hull!"
The UK is tiny 😂 it's only a few hours and you can tick a few off every few days your out there.
I spent alot of my twenties walking with a group so there were opportunities to bag a few. |

There is a very good app for recording them etc that I use and find useful (free)
Slowly working through them
Love the Lakes |

I’m very keen to walk with others, possibly even used for dares or being forced to walk naked, or carry bags.
I’m in the Lake District in the summer for a weeks walking and wild camping if anyone would like to meet up for some of it or make use of me on route! |

"We keep planning to start these walks but the weather hasn’t been great and we have no idea we’re to start "
Start in Keswick. Plenty of beginner Wainwright hikes to be had, Catbells. Latrigg. Dodd. Walla Crag.
Check you a YouTube channel called Trekking with Tony, his videos are excellent, he explains the routes really well and posts links to OSMaps so you can check it out. |
