Looks like son 1 (instructor at a Staffordshire outdoor activity centre) has landed himself a job at a centre on the eastern edge of Cumbria. One of the big pluses for them is that hiking in the Lakes will be eminently possible on their days off

Excellent TR. Demand that their accommodation includes a spare bedroom …. You’ll be wanting to visit them I’m sure.

I know he's far too modest to announce it here, but I see that as of today the LDWA have added the Synges as register 2E. That should increase their popularity no end!

Thanks, Martyn. Well spotted!
I’m still astounded that what started out as a low-key personal survey gathered any momentum at all and was very pleased when Nicky Wood, the new recorder for the Hillwalker’s Register, got in touch with me. Exciting news!
It’s very gratifying when someone gets in touch to say what a gem of a view they discovered by trekking off their route just to bag a minor summit that they would never have gone near had it not been on my list!
And, yes, an update is still in the works. 😀

Nicky seems very enthusiastic and knowledgeable to me. I emailed her to register our second round of the Wainwrights and give a Birketts/Fellrangers update, she replied almost instantly with a very encouraging message. I still haven't got round to doing any more Birketts mind you!

Saw a few of the mad fools running the 10in10 today whilst driving around when driving round Windermere …. Good luck to them ….looked to be only 6 or 7 runners going for the 10.

We passed several - I think probably the last three, as there was an official car following them and possibly protecting them from traffic - as we drove down from Windermere towards Newby Bridge sometime before 2pm. They all got a wave out of the window and a toot on the horn from me! 😀
I’m sure I read that Brathay had accepted one or two more than the usual number (around 16?), so maybe they were already quite spread out?
