The standard walker’s reference to the hills of the Lake District is the seven-volume Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells by A. Wainwright. In this work (also, incidentally, a work of supreme penmanship, printed exactly as Wainwright meticulously produced it with pen and ink) the author identified 214 fells in the district, and gave each a chapter. Reaching the top of every one of this list of summits is a popular walkers’ activity.
Looking down the list, I think I’ve done 18 of them on previous trips (not sure about a couple of them, it was a while ago).
