The Lakes in July 2015

Another trip to the Lakes ticking off Wainwright Outlying Fells.  Even though they are supposed to be easier to do than the main Wainwrights as they tend to be lower and involve shorter walks, access can be difficult.  Also, this time there were cattle with their calves to contend with.  We were surrounded on Caermote Hill by some and Daddy was head-butted and trampled on!  I managed to get away unscathed, but our walking was somewhat curtailed for the rest of the visit.

Lakes in March 2015

Here are my first walks in the Lakes this year. I'm enjoying the geriatric Wainwrights because they are out of the way and involve even more water!

Lakes in August 2014

Now I've knocked off the Wainwrights, I'm concentrating on the Outlying Fells. Daddy says this will mean more tarns as well - yippee! Here are my walks in August/September. Can't wait to get back again!

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).
