Wainwright questions

How many Wainwrights are there?

There are 214. They are the fells Alfred Wainwright described in his seven-volume Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells, published between 1955 and 1966, with one book for each area of the Lake District.

What is the highest Wainwright?

Scafell Pike, at 978 m (3,209 ft) in the Southern Fells. It is also the highest mountain in England.

What is the lowest Wainwright?

Castle Crag, at 290 m (951 ft) in the North Western Fells.

How long does it take to walk all the Wainwrights?

Most people take 10 to 20 years of occasional trips. The whole round is roughly 40 to 60 full walking days, so a committed walker can finish in a few years, and fell runners have completed continuous rounds in under a week.

What are the seven Wainwright areas?

They follow the seven books: the Central Fells (27), the Southern Fells (30), the Northern Fells (24), the Eastern Fells (35), the Western Fells (33), the Far Eastern Fells (36) and the North Western Fells (29).

The fells are waiting.
