Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I wonder if Great Langdale's days are numbered too.

It says not 2025 but it sounds far more permanent than that 😞

I feel a little sorry for the 10 in 10ers. Whatever the "lively final-day celebration" mentioned in the post is, I can't see it being the same as having hundreds of marathon runners and their families around to support.

Can you update me to 100 Wainwrights please @Northern Exile

Ticked some of in the last few weeks, with two yesterday on a loop from Carrock Fell to Great Calva from the Peak Bagging Wainwrights book. Saw a couple of distant runners coming off High Pike ahead of me but didn't actually meet anyone until coming down Great Calva - so peaceful :-)

A recommendation here for the Cumbria Wildlife Trust podcast. The most recent episode has a lot of information about the latest project creating Skiddaw Forest

Thoroughly recommend.

I've always liked Kendal, used to visit my parents friends there frequently when I was a kid. You can spend hours exploring the Yards off the streets in town and still find something you didn't know was there.

Also more recently a visit isn't complete without a nip in to Pete Bland Sports...

Somewhere you can confidently ask "which is the best chip shop in Keswick?" and expect an intelligent reply.

Lots of experience and good advice available here, from which B & B or YHA to the best fell for Grandma to climb :-)
