A 2013 Summary

The major achievement of the year was the completion of 4 hill lists.  This sounds more impressive than it actually is because 3 of them started and finished on the same summits.

Those lists were :

  • The Wainwrights
214 summits listed in Wainwright’s 7 Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells

  • The Fellrangers
227 summits listed in Mark Richards’ 8 Fellranger guidebooks

  • The FRCC244
244 summits listed in “The Lakeland Fells” published by the Fell & Rock Climbing Club

  • The Outlying Fells
116 summits featured (but not all named) in Wainwright’s guide to the Outlying Fells of Lakeland

Overall I :
            went on             18                                walks
            walked              111.9                            miles
            ascended          36,050                          feet
            walked for         76 hrs 46 mins              (including rest stops !)
            reached            45                                 individual summits that I hadn’t been to before
            reached            12                                 individual summits that I had been to before
            drove                2479                             miles on trips to and from walks

I don’t think that I did a lot in 2013 but the completion of the Wainwrights after 30 years makes up for a relatively quiet year.

Happy New Year and be safe on the hills in 2014!
