The Wainwright Ramblers
Hello! We’re the answer to the age old question - ‘What would a podcast about the Wainwrights sound like? • ’The three of us - Lance, Matt and Nick - have launched this venture to document our efforts in climbing all 214 of the Lake District’s Wainwrights. • We’ve set ourselves a five-year goal but we’ll decide later just how flexible we’re willing to be on that... • Each episode will document at least one fell - we might even head back and try a different route. Sharp Edge? The Fairfield Horseshoe? Jack’s Rake? • We’re looking forward to you joining us on the journey and hope you enjoy it as much as we will.
The Wainwright Ramblers
S3E9 - Gowbarrow Fell
•
Lance, Matt and Nick
•
Season 3
Wainwright called Gowbarrow Fell “one of the best-known of Lakeland's lesser heights” and with good reason.
Despite that, there’s an argument to be made that it’s not actually the focal point of the walk, with the mighty Aira Force - a genuine landmark - also vying for the crown.
Thankfully, both are brilliant.
Join us as we relive the outing on an episode which also includes a chat with National Trust ranger, Nic Fish, who talks all things history, waterfalls and the future of the site.
