The Wainwright Ramblers

St Sunday Crag is a prominent feature in the Patterdale skyline and a fell chosen by you, the listeners, for this episode.

The hike had a bit of everything including sun, scrambling and singing. That last one isn’t a joke.

There’s also a contender for someone’s new favourite summit - enjoy!

We’re back in the tents and sleeping bags today for our second wild camp as we spend the night by the ever-glorious Angle Tarn. 

It was an amazing adventure at a location voted for by you, the listeners - so, good choice!

There’s plenty to discuss on an episode that includes a sunrise and sunset, hiking and headtorches, water and Wainwrights, and the loudest geese you’ve ever heard in your life…

The Coledale Horseshoe is a huge venture that we did in what can only be described as searing heat.

Some valuable lessons were learned on the day, which turned out to be a real rollercoaster that left quite the lasting impression.

The three of us reliving it is long overdue…

We’re heading North this week to take on Binsey - comfortably one of the shortest walks we've done so far.

However, it still offers some of the finest views you’ll find on a low-lying fell and is ideal for a quick jaunt up and down a Wainwright.

We’re also answering some of your questions as we shed a bit of light on ourselves, our plans and how the podcast came to be!

While Castle Crag may be the smallest of the Wainwrights, it’s a title which has likely helped its popularity soar.

Despite the fell’s height - or lack thereof - it really does pack a punch, with the walk also including a visit to Millican Dalton’s cave.

Come join us as we relive the slate, scree, valleys, views, woodland and rain - it’s quite the adventure.

It’s a double act today as we take on Arthur’s Pike and Bonscale Pike - a pair of fells with real charm, overlooking the mighty Ullswater.

It’s a journey that features bogs, boats, paragliding and a tribute to Wainwright’s long-held love of the lake.

We also reveal some details of the challenge we’ve got lined up for later in the year - it’s all happening this week!

Red Pike, High Stile and High Crag are a magnificent trio, with each one sitting among the 65 highest Wainwrights.

We took on all three on a piping hot day, with the walk proving to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing we’ve done.

The route also includes the latest entry into our list of the Lake District’s finest beds of water, and what a prestigious list it is.

Catbells has the dual honour of being one of the most well-known and easily identifiable Wainwrights.

We wanted to do something a little different with this episode, so set our alarms in time to catch the sunrise, knowing that it would be one of the finest spots in the Lakes for such a sight.

It’s a wonderful walk to start Series Two with and it’s a pleasure to be back reliving these adventures with you all. Enjoy!

Snowdon is a magnificent mountain and attracts hundreds of thousands of people every year - it’s easy to see why. 

The three of us climbed the Welsh landmark by taking on the Pyg Track, Miners’ Track and the unforgiving Crib Goch on a day of mixed conditions.

It was too good a journey not to share, so we hope you enjoy this Christmas special before we return to the Wainwrights in January with the launch of series two.

We covered 25 Wainwrights in our first series, taking in the highs, lows and everything in-between of some of the finest fells in the Lakes. 

It felt only right that we dive back in for a short episode to talk about our adventures. What was the biggest surprise? Which one are we most likely to do again? Do we think our endeavour will get easier or harder?

There’s also a series-based quiz for good measure, just to see how much attention we actually paid to our own content. It was hit and miss…

Enjoy!
