Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

John Gravett is planning to carry out a circuit of all the 214 “Wainwright” fells in the Lake District for charity. The fells include most of the highest peaks in England, such as Scafell Pike, Helvellyn and Skiddaw.

I am planning to start the challenge on the 1st April 2023, and complete the 214 fells in 428 days, the equivalent of one every 2 days – total distance covered will depend on the routes used, but should be around 700 miles, about the same as Lands End to John O’Groats. Altitude gained is the big part – and will be equivalent to climbing Everest from sea level SIX times. (around 190,000 feet of ups). More realistically, it’s like Everest from Base Camp 15 times.

The Lake District Mountain Rescue charities carry out a wonderful job, with volunteers giving huge amount of time - often in terrible weather conditions, but they need financial support for equipment, vehicles etc.

His initial target would be to raise at least £2,140 for the charities (this would equate to £10 per fell, or just over 1p for every foot of altitude) – Of course, if we can exceed that amount, that would be wonderful.
