Head for Lakeland ’s Northern Fells to bag a couple of easy tops when winter puts more rugged peaks beyond reach.

There have been several attempts at a winter round of the Wainwrights, usually continuous efforts by ultra-runners. But could two fellwalking friends reach all 214 summits in what turned out to be the wintriest season in Lakeland for years? David Johnson and Nicky Oliver decided to find out…

Winter walks aren’t always how you imagine them to be. Sometimes they’re a hundred times better – even more so if you make a weekend of it.

Bag six Wainwrights on this classic Lake District round, ticking off Cat Bells, Maiden Moor, High Spy, Dale Head, Hindscarth and Robinson.
