The Lakes and the Fellrangers completed in July 2016

Had another great fortnight dodging the showers. But who cares about getting wet? I don't. I swam in Derwentwater, Bassenthwaite Lake and Loweswater on the way back from Carlisle (Daddy was shopping or something) - a long drive but worth it for the swimming.



After a couple of climbs up Beacon Fell, I also climbed my last 3 Fellrangers - Knockmurton, Bell Crags and Wallowbarrow.

Had a great reunion with some of Daddy's friends he met in India.  They like walking so I like them!  Here are the main walks:

Lake District 3 May

Today, we did a short walk up Beacon Fell, past (and in, of course) Beacon Tarn and up Wool Knott, another geriatric Wainwright.

Geriatric Wainwrights

We spent the last fortnight in the Lake District, when we did a lot of swimming rather than walking as it rained most of the time. My previous posts showed some of my exploits in the water. The longest walk was this one which took us over Wool Knott, Tottlebank Height and Blawith Knott. These are in Wainwright's The Outlying Fells of Lakeland (also known as the Geriatric Wainwrights). We also did some tarn bagging as well (Beacon Tarn again, a tarn at White Borran which is not on Nuttalls' list, and Lang Tarn).
