2015 WALKS

Here is a full listing of our adventures in 2015. Whilst we got a good number of walks in during 2014, Dad had two periods of illness which kept us confined to barracks for about two months, but happily all is well as we start 2015. Despite this Little Eric did indeed complete his Wainwright Outlyer challenge. We also welcomed a new member to our club, Southey, who like the rest of us is eager to explore the wild places.

Little Eric also made some progess in 2014 regarding the Birketts, and the Wainwrights completing Books 3 and 5. Some of the other books are near completion too, and this was planned to be the focus of some of the walks this year.

No other specific challenges have been set. Well, that was the situation in January, but then we climbed Fair Snape Fell in the Forest of Bowland. Finding a listing of all the summits in this area, it was decided to try and climb them all. Southey was particularly pleased about this as he would complete this challenge, and so has volunteered to write the blog. This was to be the main focus of this years walks the Lakes taking very much a back seat.
