Eric Robson's Keswick...

"When you visit an area like the Lake District it's always good to be armed with a bit of local knowledge.  So here goes. There's a local tradition here that visitors are expected to climb all 214 Wainwrights while at the same time whistling excerpts from The Sound of Music.

I get the impression you're not convinced.

Anyhow, Alfred Wainwright was Britain's most famous fell walker who spent decades compiling his seven volume Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells. In them he identified and gave routes onto 214 summits. And, yes, there are people about who call themselves Wainwright baggers and who set themselves the mission of climbing every one of them.

The reason for telling you all this when you're visiting Keswick is that we're going to set you off on your Wainwright-bagging career by sending you up the easiest Wainwright of all - Latrigg. All you've got to do is find the car park at the end of Gale Road and it's a ten minute stroll across grassy slopes to the summit. And when you get there what a view you have in store. Keswick below and the glories of the Borrowdale Valley stretching ahead of you.

Just a word of warning before you head off to do Latrigg. The other 213 Wainwrights aren't quite as easy.
