A couple of our good friends came to visit us in November. They’d done some fell walking and asked us if we’d like to spend a few days in the Lakes with them, which we duly did at the end of April.
We satyed in Ambleside, which is a nice town on the north end of Windermere. Over the weekend we discovered the Wainwright books and fantastic glory of the lakeland fells. We had visited the Lake district before, but we were put off by the foot and mouth (it was 2001), but we have to say that we fell in love with the place.
The king of lakeland fellwalking was Alfred Wainwright who wrote seven great books on the subject. His seven books identify 214 peaks, and we’ve decided to make our way up all of them. This blog will mark our progress which means, by very nature, it will be quiet for weeks on end and then very busy. Hopefully it will be interesting!
Oh no…what HAVE we done!? Glad you loved it and want to do more. Will be watching with interest and let us know if you want to meet up there again. It was fun!
