June 30, 2025,Grasmere to the Langdale Pikes
Includes ten Wainwrights including Silver How, Blea Rigg, Pavey Ark, Harrison Stickle, Loft Crag, Pike of Stickle, Thunacarr Knott, High Raise, Sergeant Man, Tarn Crag and a scramble up North Rake! Depending on your fitness level it's a tough day of hiking but very rewarding!

It was a really tuff hike, but we got the weather, it took the best part of 8 hours to cover the route of very tough touraine that I haven't done before, my nephew said that he underestimated the difficult conditions, but a great day out.

As pleased as I am managing to climb 50 meters higher than the top of the highest mountain I climbed, I'm annoyed I missed the 10th wainwright mistaking it for helm Crag, which I'd added as a bonus.
