Please forgive me if the navigation of this web site is all over the place right now. I have over 700 web pages to edit and it is taking some time, thanks for your patience.

About This Site

This site came about after having taken up walking in the English Lake District (see below).

I quickly came across three web sites (David Hall, Andrew Leaney and Sean McMahon) that I believe anyone thinking of walking the Lake District should look into, especially if you have never been before. Even if you have, please, please check out their pages. They have routes, pictures and advise, most of which could save your life. For many, many months Andrew's was set as my home page, I spent so much time on there, and I recently exchanged many emails with Sean asking his advice on such things as routes and parking.

Completing all 214 Fells

My mission to walk all 214 Wainwright Fells finally finished in May of 2008. (For more information on A.W. please have a look at the Society web site.)

I should point out that although doing these 214 fells was really important to me, I do at times scream out loud at some of his omissions and additions. It's a personal thing, and I won't allow anyone to tell me that his guy has the final word concerning places to walk in the lakes. So far my biggest gripe is the omission of Ill Crag, (Nr Scafell Pike), which for me has one of the most amazing views any where in the lakes.

Concerning the Seven Fell Regions

I have been trying for a long time to come up with a way of showing all the walks I have done. I have the seven fell regions listed below, and when you hit the link for one you got a full list of every fell within that region. It is however an aweful lot of work, hours and hours, and each time I do a walk it mean's me having to edit sometimes 30 pages at a time. I am working on this off line, but appologies if some of the Fells do not have pages of their own yet. Thanks for your patience.

The Seven Fell Regions

• Northern Fells
  Well what can I say... Home to what I consider to be the most viewed fell in all the lakes, although I dare say many people have no idea what it's actually called - Skiddaw!
• North Western Fells
  This is again a group of fells that has so many breath taking views, and ascents that it is hard to know where to start. Two fells are amongst the most visited, Causey Pike and Catbells.
• Western Fells
  March 2008 and I have completed this set of fells.. finally! May I encourage anyone that has the ability to walk in winter to do the Rememberence Day Walk in November.
• Central Fells
  The Central fells have a cluster of summits that must be the most recognisable in the whole of the Lake District, The Langdale Pikes.
• Eastern Fells
  The Eastern Fells are home to possibly the best ridge walk in the whole of the Lake District, not that I have ever tried to do the whole thing. Nab Scar through to Clough Head is some 17 miles and some 6,200 ft of ascent.
• Far Eastern Fells
  Although this set of fells are actually the nearest to where I live, they have taken some time to finish. I ended up doing a 17 mile hike around the Kentmere Horseshoe, adding 3 extra fell tops in order to save me time another day.
• The Southern Fells
  Home to the largest and most famous mountain in England, I guess this set of fells has to be the most visited
