Evie’s Wainwrights – Page 5 – Around the world with Evie Bean

Gowbarrow – 13/05/18

For Evie’s second Wainwright we needed a small and local one, as we were still getting used to having a baby, I was still sore and Evie was still under 6 weeks old. So we set off up Gowbarrow. However, Tim decided that we should try a new route, so rather than going up the main path it turned instead into a bit of an adventure.

The path turned into a bit of a non path, so some heather bashing and a bit of scrambling were required to actually get to the cairn on top. But it was worth it. Another amazing day and stunning view looking down over Ullswater, not that Evie saw it as once again she was asleep at the top!

We then followed a real path, though not our normal one, to get back down…. glad it was dry as normally I think it would be a bog!

A regular walk of ours, it being close to home. But today was one of those cracking days with beautiful late afternoon light, autumnal colours…. and Evie awake at the top!

Didn’t want this day to end!

A quick walk out with Evie’s buddy Oliver.

For once Evie was the one awake!

Evie’s first Wainwright – Great Mell Fell. 06/05/18

At one month and two days old We managed to summit our first Wainwright as a new family. Those first few weeks had felt like an eternity, so getting to the top of a fell, even a small one, felt like a great achievement.

Great Mell Fell has a steep ascent but you get fabulous views for miles across The Lakes and the Eden Valley from the top. You also get to see funky windswept trees on the way up! It left me sore but was worth it.

From this point I thought that we will start to walk the Wainwrights. There are 214 to go at, so it will keep us busy. But I figured also a good way of heading up fells that we don’t walk out of habit.

Question is….. how long will this take?

28 Oct 2018 – Great Mell with Beth & Hazie

As our local fell we have been up and down a few times but today we introduced our friends Hazel & Beth to this lovely little fell.

Evie enjoyed explaining the view to them!
