The Far Eastern Fells
The Far Eastern fells, as the name suggests, is Wainwright's classification of the range of mountains east of Ullswater and the Kirkstone pass. Although I have visited Ullswater many times, I have only really got 'into' this area once, in 2004, when I visited the Haweswater Reservoir and pent some time photographing it from the slopes of Harter Fell.
Wainwright reports that the walking is of a different kind here - the mountains are easier (in general) to ascend and offer long walks at altitude, for instance at High Street. Clearly, this is a place to relax in and enjoy the scenery. Julia Bradbury's Wainwright Walks DVD contains her ascent of High Street and it's a fell I intend to explore as soon as I can.
I've listed below all of the fells that Wainwright classified as belonging to the Far Eastern Fells, together with notes detailing visits I have made to them. Some fells have pages of their own - click on any of the fell names that have links to visit these...
This page is a work in progress. As fells are visited, climbed and photographed, they will be added.
