Name: Wainwrights: Walk1. bagging 8 peaks. Eastern Fells
Start: 2025-01-04T10:00:00Z
End: 2025-01-04T16:00:00Z

Walk1.
I know there are numerous books out there how best to do the Wainwrights but this is just made up after a lot of pondering, staring at Excell sheets (Google sheets) and trying to workout a starting point for people who live south of the lakes and accommodating the short days as well as being mindful of weather too.

We start from a small car park in Rydal just up from Ambleside.
Despite the slow 10am start we can bag around 8 of the Wainwrights, listed below. This should take no more than 6 hours and be back at the pub before needing head torches, hummmm, been wrong before lol.

This walk is similar in time, length and height to walking up Llanberis path to Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon)

| Wainwright | Fells | Height |
| ---------- | ----- | ------ |
| 192\. Nab Scar | Eastern Fells | 442 |
| 127\. Heron Pike | Eastern Fells | 612 |
| 13\. Fairfield | Eastern Fells | 873 |
| 54\. Great Rigg | Eastern Fells | 766 |
| 172\. Low Pike | Eastern Fells | 508 |
| 27\. Hart Crag | Eastern Fells | 822 |
| 38\. Dove Crag | Eastern Fells | 792 |
| 108\. High Pike | Eastern Fells | 657 |

I shall be staying over for the full weekend so there will be a walk scheduled for Sunday, hope you can join a few more Wainwright bagging.

Please watch out for safety advice and kit list few days before this walk.
I will be staying over near the Old Dungeon Gill for a few day.
