THE FELLRANGERS

The Lakeland Fellranger, are a series beautiful guides produced by Mark Richards. In all there are eight books covering the Lake District National Park. It is only recently, in April 2014, that Dad discovered the existence of these guides. Interested to see which fells were included, we searched the Internet for a listing. As our eyes scanned down, we saw many familiar names. Having achieved the Birkett Fells, Wainwrights and Wainwright Outliers, it therefore came as no surprise that we were immediately able to tick them off, but with the exception of one. This was Wallowbarrow Crag, situated near Seathwaite in beautiful Dunnerdale. "Well", we said to Dad, "we must make this the subject of our next walk, so that we will be able to say that this challenge too, is complete." So on a perfect spring day with cloudless blue skies, Dad took us on a delightful walk with superb views, especially that of the Duddon Valley from the summit of Wallowbarrow Crag. Thus on 19th April 2014, we can say that all the fells in this list have been climbed. As with other challenges, our pal Little Eric, still has many outstanding, having done 136 to date. This will increase, but he has said that he does not expect Dad to revisit all those he has not done.

Currently the individual climbed status of each member is :-
