List of Wainwrights

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alfred Wainwright c. 1980s, with trademark pipe.

The Wainwrights are the 214 fells (hills and mountains) described in A. Wainwright's seven-volume Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells (1955–1966). Over two million copies of the Pictorial Guides have been sold worldwide since their publication.^[1]

Visiting all 214 Wainwrights is a common form of peak bagging. The Long Distance Walkers Association maintains a register of walkers who have completed the Wainwrights; in November 2007 there were 459 people on the list, of whom 40 had completed more than once.^[2] Dave Hewitt estimates that the total number of completers could be over 50% higher than the LDWA's figure.^[3] The Ramblers Association reported in 2008 that a boy of six years, four months and 27 days had become the youngest person to complete the Wainwrights.^[4]

The term is occasionally extended to include the fells mentioned in Wainwright's supplementary volume The Outlying Fells of Lakeland (1974), although this article only lists the original 214 fells. The said fells are listed here by book, sorted in descending order of height. See also List of fells in the Lake District for a full list in height order.
