Over fifty years ago, renowned British hillwalker and guidebook
author Alfred Wainwright described 214 peaks in the English Lake
District in his seven-volume illustrated Pictorial Guide to the
Lakeland Fells. Like the Munros in Scotland, bagging all the
Wainwrights has become a popular and significant challenge for
walkers and runners, often taking many years in fits and starts
because of the absence of a clear plan for how to link them
together. With this problem in mind, Peak Bagging: Wainwrights by
Karen and Dan Parker features forty-five routes designed to link up
these iconic fells so you can enjoy the challenge of completing
them at your own pace - over years, months or even just a few
weeks. It presents not only the most efficient routes for
completing the Wainwrights as quickly as possible, but does so in
such a way that each route is a fantastic walk or run in its own
right. The featured routes include a round of the Scafells, and the
Glenridding Horseshoe, taking in Helvellyn and Catstycam. The
routes are split into seven sections, reflecting Wainwright's seven
Pictorial Guides, and to simplify logistics, all of the featured
routes are circular with an emphasis on making practical links
between the summits. In addition, the book is packed with useful
information, including 1:40,000-scale maps, elevation profiles,
public transport and parking details, refreshments, downloadable
GPX files for each route and custom timings for walkers, trekkers,
fastpackers and runners. Also included are overview details of
Steve Birkinshaw's then-record-breaking sub-seven-day Wainwrights
run in 2014 - current record holder Sabrina Verjee completed the
round in under six days. Whatever your timescale for completing the
214 Wainwrights, Peak Bagging: Wainwrights is the indispensable
guide to this British hill challenge.
