Description

A wonderful adventure, exploring the "hidden" peaks of Whinlatter forest ⛰️

It is often windy and boggy, but with clear cumbrian trods to follow

The challenge is to visit each of the 6x Whinlatter Wainwrights, leaving it upto you to plan your own route to maximise efficiency

Peaks to visit (in my preference of order): Barf, Lords Seat, Broom Fell (don't miss the Wainwright!), Greystones (the Wainwright), Brown How, Whinlatter

You can start/end where you like, but you must start/end at the same point

⚠️ Caution: Ascending Barf is technical, with the direct route being a Mountain Rescue hotspot - take care, don't be another callout
