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.

Season 5
Wainwright wrote that the rich rewards of Hallin Fell’s summit are “out of all proportion to the slight effort of ascent” and he was spot on.
Topped with one of the finest cairns you’re ever likely to see, this modest hill manages to stand out amongst its loftier neighbours from a prime position on the edge of Ullswater and we love it.
Join us as we relive a day of ice-riddled roads, endless autumn colours and a deep dive - of sorts - into the not-so-secret identity of Steel Knotts.
