THE SUMMITS

Our many adventures, some of which are related on this site, have taken us to hundreds of hill and mountain summits. Many can be conveniently grouped to form specific challenges that we have set ourselves. We have therefore constructed listings for readers, and to also show our progress against these differing challenges. Also see Allen, Tetley, Grizzly & Shaun's blogs, for more details starting from 2009.

The Wainwright Fells and Wainwright Outlying Fells
These listings are definitive as per Alfred Wainwright's seven pictorial guides to the Lakeland Fells and his further book of the Outlying Fells of Lakeland. As well as a single list of the 214 Wainwright Fells, we have also provided seven separate lists of the fells in each book.

The Birkett Fells
This list too, is definitive taken from Bill Birkett's book "Complete Lakeland Fells", in which he lists the 541 summits in the Lake District over 1000ft (305m).

The Howgill Fells
Intially this list was drawn up from Alfred Wainwright's book of 'Walks on the Howgill Fells'. As we have explored them with Dad and Uncle Eric however, more summits have been added both within the main Howgill massive and to the north side of the Borrowdale valley. This is therefore a comprehensive listing, but not necessarily definitive.

The Yorkshire Dales Fells
We started with a list of 75 summits that Dad found elsewhere on the Internet, and was the basis for our exploration of this area with Dad and Uncle Bob. As walks have been devised to reach these summits in some cases others have had to be crossed to reach them, or others were noted from the maps and detours made to take them in. Currently our listing stands at 114. Again we can say that this is comprehensive, but not necessarily definitive. Indeed Dad and Uncle Bob may find a few more to add on in time.

The North Pennine Fells
Thanks to Go4awalk.com and Wikepedia we have devised a list of 87 summits, that form the basis for our exploration of this area with Dad and Uncle Bob. As we progress more summits may be discovered and the list may lengthen over time. This is therefore a comprehensive listing, but not necessarily definitive.

And finally, you will note that the fell names are colour coded. This is to give and indication of its height, as follows -
