4 new Wainwright's and 3 hikes in 1 day!! Seeing as I was feeling very ill the day before, we were pretty surprised to do so much. I am trying to get these 214 summits completed before I turn 50.
First summit of the day, Binsey.
Well, you can't get lost on this one. Straight up and straight down.
A few from the summit, looking back to the Skiddaw range.
Looking north to the Solway Firth and Scotland.

Another steep start but never as steep as it looks from a distance. Looking back to Ling Fell.
Looking down on Wythop.
The summit in sight.
