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.© 2026 The Wainwright Ramblers Hygiene & Healthy Living

  • S5E8 - Black Fell & Holme Fell
    Oct 14 2026

    It’s safe to say that Black Fell and Holme Fell are a modest duo that have a huge amount going for them - they tick plenty of boxes.

    Yet, despite being two of the smallest Wainwrights, they’re no walk in the park, with the man himself noting that “the climbing of a small hill - what there is of it - can call for as much effort, over a shorter time, as a big one”.

    Join us on a bumper episode as we relive this route’s long list of hidden gems, debate which is better - a cave or a quarry - and address the controversy surrounding the mega anvil.

  • S5E7 - Place Fell
    Nov 5 2025

    It’s been a while but you’ll be pleased to know that Place Fell is absolutely worth the wait.

    Our latest group walk was, as ever, a treat from start to finish as we ventured high into the clouds to one of the rockiest tops the Lakes has to offer.

    Join us as we discuss the mystery cave, relive the massive anvil, and weigh up a potential new name for this glorious Wainwright.

  • S5E6 - Whinlatter
    May 28 2025

    Plenty of Lake District regulars will be familiar with Whinlatter Pass but the Wainwright of the same name is comfortably a more enjoyable experience.

    It wasn’t the original plan for this outing but some typically bad weather saw us head here at the last minute - and it proved to be a great call.

    Join us as we relive a hike that packed quite a punch, with its mixture of woodland, a Gruffalo, red squirrels and snippets of history keeping us thoroughly entertained.

Three mates reminiscing over Wainwrights walks. Carefully describing the route, conditions, difficulty, vista, along with the highs and lows of the day. Alfred Wainwright’s own poetic descriptions of the fells are also contemplated. A lovely podcast which transports the listener directly to the Lake Districts fells.

If you bag Wainwrights this is a must listen.
