The Wainwright Challenge

All 214 Wainwrights in my seventieth year. Why? Because I thought I could and there were a few I had never done. Day 1 was in the Northern Fells: Dodd, Carl Side, Long Side, Ullock Pike, Skiddaw, Bakestall, Skiddaw Little Man, Lonscale Fell and Latrigg. A good start. I never tire of Skiddaw. Day 42 was in the Western Fells, finishing on Yewbarrow, the last peak in the last book. I can honestly say I enjoyed every moment of the challenge and would heartily recommend it, at any age. Memories to last a lifetime.

The image represents the seven 'Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells'. Using the colour wheel as a compass: The Northern Fells, Book 5, is represented by the primary colour red, The Western Fells, Book 7, is the primary colour blue, etc. Three primary colours and three secondary colours for six books and the wheel’s pivotal colour black, for the Central Fells, Book 3.
