2012 WALKS
Here is a full listing
of our adventures in 2012. Unfortunately our Dad was ill during
end of 2011 and early 2012, so we did not start our campaign
until February, but we look forward to a good number of
adventures during the rest of the year. By the end of 2011, of
the Birkett challenge, we had just one summit to achieve, namely
Pen on the Eskdale side of Scafell Pike. To reach this will be
our prime objective this year. We also carry forward from last
year the aim for our pal Little Eric to climb his remaining 9
outstanding Howgill and associated fells, so that he can complete
that challenge.
From late 2021 to early 2023, we undertook a rewrite the majority of these stories, improving and adding extra pictures and information. We hope you will enjoy reading some of our enhanced accounts.
