Walk The Wainwrights in The Lake District

First published in the Westmorland Gazette in the 1950's, Alfred Wainwright's Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells comprises seven volumes listing 214 mountains and tops - each with its own chapter.

Often considered the definitive Lake District list (and the one most people start with) all are accessible to the average fell walker.

Peak Bagging the Wainwrights is a way of discovering and experiencing new mountains, peaks, tops and hills that you might have not otherwise thought of walking on - often in glorious solitude well away from the crowded honeypots.

It can be a lot of fun and immensely satisfying too!
