Additional tales of ascents of fells

Tales of more ascents

In 2023 members of the Eden Valley Mountaineering Club ascended all the Wainwrights and the book, Wainwrights without a Car, recalls all these ascents with accounts produced by the members and this was the basis for the book and its format.

During the year I climbed 86 of the summits and I am carrying on looking to ascend all 214 without a car. Details of these ascents are given on the Wainwrights without a Car Facebook page with photographs and I hope these will give you help in planning any walks of these fells and you enjoy these accounts.
