The Wainwright Ramblers

By: Lance Matt and Nick
  • Summary

  • Hello! We’re the answer to the age old question - ‘What would a podcast about the Wainwrights sound like? • ’The three of us - Lance, Matt and Nick - have launched this venture to document our efforts in climbing all 214 of the Lake District’s Wainwrights. • We’ve set ourselves a five-year goal but we’ll decide later just how flexible we’re willing to be on that... • Each episode will document at least one fell - we might even head back and try a different route. Sharp Edge? The Fairfield Horseshoe? Jack’s Rake? • We’re looking forward to you joining us on the journey and hope you enjoy it as much as we will.

  • S5E2 - Hallin Fell
    Sep 25 2024

    Wainwright wrote that the rich rewards of Hallin Fell’s summit are “out of all proportion to the slight effort of ascent” and he was spot on.

    Topped with one of the finest cairns you’re ever likely to see, this modest hill manages to stand out amongst its loftier neighbours from a prime position on the edge of Ullswater and we love it.

    Join us as we relive a day of ice-riddled roads, endless autumn colours and a deep dive - of sorts - into the not-so-secret identity of Steel Knotts.

  • S5E1 - Scafell Pike (via the Corridor Route)
    Aug 21 2024

    After some time away from the fells while life became quite busy, we wanted to kick off Series Five with a bang and what better way than by heading to the top of the country?

    While we’ve already had ourselves a Scafell Pike episode, the Corridor Route is a completely different adventure and one we’ve wanted to do for quite some time.

    It was a huge day - which also took in Lingmell and Great End - and it’s a joy to be back sharing it with you all in a bumper episode.

    Enjoy!

  • S4E10 - Mellbreak
    Dec 27 2023

    We like to end a run of episodes on a high, and Mellbreak is exactly that having fast become one of our favourite walks.

    One of the more aesthetically pleasing fells in the Lakes, it also lends itself to a classic Wainwright quote that sums up just how good it looks sitting next to Crummock Water.

    Join us for the Series Four finale as we relive a stunning day on the hills and discuss all things 2024 as we look ahead to new adventures and more group walks.
