The Northern Lakeland Fells

30/04/2011 - 07/05/2011

23 Wainwrights, 53.5 miles and 17,540 feet

 


After the dry conditions in March and April it didn't seem possible that the weather would be kind to us for the first week in May. As it turned out we couldn't have had a better week - 6 days of sunshine. The first walk from Troutbeck was completed as we travelled north but the rest were centred around Keswick, focusing on 'bagging' more Wainwrights for Sheila and repeating summits for Marie and myself.
