Just as a matter of interest, is anyone else here making a conscious effort to bag all the Wainwrights/Birketts? Or even the Synges 
I'm well into my second lap of the Wainwrights and this year want to make a big dent in that, finish off the Fellrangers and also work out what I have to do with regard to the Wainwright Outliers - a lot of them are Birketts, so I've already done quite a few. Have done about 370 of the Birketts, so still a way to go as there are 541, 540 if you don't include Pillar Rock.

I'm bagging Marilyns and trig points with T8 as we live too far from proper tops, but with no real intention in bagging them all! Mr W is Munro bagging.

I'd like to make the conscious effort to bag the Wainwrights - but I think I only managed 10 last year and two of those I'd done before!
Easter Saturday, if it's suitable weather, should mark the start of this year's attempt to make a bigger dent in the list

Nice one. There's a real attraction in bagging trig points, particularly as some of them are so remote and hard to access. I want to start doing it myself, but am worried that my obsessive nature might get me into trouble!

Yep, I tend to record the lot of them but at the moment picking them off as and when. I suspect when I get closer to the 214 it will become a bit more deliberate.
I thought once we'd moved nearer to the Lakes we'd get up there and run far more, but it seems there's so much good running around Yorkshire we get there even less

I'm Cumbria-bound (again) this weekend and I'm thinking that I might go up Langstrath and see if I can find the "secret" bothy again. Then I'll bob up Sgts Crag and Eagle's Crag, then round to Ullscarf and on to Great Crag. That's one idea anyhow!
If the weather's good on Saturday I might go over to Wasdale and do leg 4 of the BGR, it's been a while

Flanker - I bet you end up in the same situation as us, where you're forced to do one-offs or to travel long distances between tops. On our final "Wainwright Weekend" we did Binsey on the Friday, then round to Wasdale on the Saturday for Buckbarrow then all the way to Caw Fell (over several other previously-bagged tops), then on the Sunday I think it was Green Crag, Harter Fell, Hard Knott and finally Grey Friar. It wasn't a bad ending actually

I wish I'd recorded my bagged Wainwrights (and Munros) in my pre-Fetch days, for most of the different ones I've done pre-date moving to Cumbria and also pre-date Fetch.
