2014 WALKS

Here is a full listing of our adventures in 2014. We enjoyed a good year of walks in 2013, and two objectives were attained. The completion of the Birkett challenge by summiting Pen in August, and for Little Eric the completion of his Howgill challenge in June by summiting Langdale Knott.

Little Eric made good progess in 2013 in climbing his outstanding Wainwright Outlying Fells, and as we start 2014, there are just seven summits to attain. These can be accomplished in just two walks, and once the better weather comes we hope to do these with Uncle Eric, who too needs to climb them, and so for our little pal see him complete this challenge, which we are pleased to say was accomplished on 26th June, the final summit being Long Crag.

No other specific challenges have been set, and we just look foward as many varied walks as Dad is able to take us on, amongst the other calls upon his time.
