Hill Walkers Register

REGISTER 2. The Wainwrights.

A register of all those individuals who have reached the summit of all the hills featured in Alfred Wainwright's Guides to the Lakeland Fells.  The Register lists all those who have ascended the 214 peaks described in the Seven Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells, and those who have also included the additional 102 hills described in The Outlying Fells (see Register 2 - Reference “Turner” below for a full listing of hills).  Therefore when applying for inclusion in the Register please state whether or not the Outlying Fells were included.  No register of names is kept of any individuals who have ascended all of the Outlying Fells but have not completed the Wainwrights.  Please note that the term "Wainwright" as used above is only used for convenience - it is a term that AW would surely have detested!

The Wainwrights Register currently contains over four hundred names.

A companion Register lists the names of those who have made Multiple Completions of the Wainwrights.  Currently there are thirty names on this Register, three of whom have completed more than ten rounds of these popular Lakeland hills; the record for one individual stands presently at 18 rounds.  When sending a claim to the Recorder for a second or subsequent round of the Wainwrights (or any other Register List) please do so on the normal Claim Form, not in the form of a letter or email, and please mark boldly on the top of the Claim Form the number of the Round that has been completed.  One Claim Form per completion please.
