Summits	High Spy, Maiden Moor & Catbells
Start	Borrowdale Youth Hostel
Company	Rachel, Tim, Jo
Weather	Misty and drizzly but thankfully with the wind on our backs when exposed.

Castle Crag

Date	Tuesday, 16th August 2022
Summits	Castle Crag
Start	Borrowdale Youth Hostel
Route	Direct from the Youth Hostel
Company	Rachel, Tim, Jo
Notes	Smallest of the Wainwright's, but still taking an hour because of the steepness. Tim subsequently ran (up only) in 17 minutes and 15 seconds for the "King of the Castle" run from the youth hostel.

Seat Sandal

Date	Saturday, 31st July 2021
Summits	Seat Sandal
Start	Grasmere (NY335091)
Route	A clockwise circular route taking in Seat Sandal only. We thought the walk might take us 4:30-5 hours but completed it in 3 hours.
Company	Tim, Rachel, Jo, Andrew, Robin
Weather	There was a lot of cloud and we got a bit soggy on top.
Notes	There was a very steep scramble on the way up. We have various theories about why it was called Seat Sandal including having to sit on your sandals (!) or it originally being called Seat Saddle.

Crinkle Crags & Cold Pike

Date	Monday, 24th May 2021
Summits	Crinkle Crags & Cold Pike
Start	Wrynose Pass(?)
Route	Crinkle Crags then Cold Pike
Company	Tim, Rachel, Jo, Andrew, Robin
Weather	Repeatedly alternating between hot & sunny and cold & damp.
Notes	This was the first walk in a while, due to COVID19. There were lots of scrambles & rocky bits along the top of the crinkles. We had different parts of our lunch, including motivational sweets, on the different crinkles. We all think the crinkles should count as more than 1 Wainwright!

Weather	Cloudy early, misty and cold towards Fairfield, then clearing later down the ridge.
