Holme Fell: Louis' first Wainwright

A few days on from the BGR experience we're enjoying our holiday in the lakes. It had been my plan to get our boy Louis up his first Wainwright before we head home. He's 6 months old and starting to weigh some. We stay over Coniston way in general when we come up and have one of the lowest and most straight forward Wainwright climbs behind the cottage.

Holme Fell has a long grassy ascent with some very easy rock steps on one side and a big crag off of the front, overlooking the main road from Ambleside to Coniston. It's a beautiful fell and one full of character despite being the second lowest of all 214 peaks.

After a simple 40 minute hike we made the top, the first for Louis and his Mum. Breathtaking views and a nice way to start easing the waste back out of my tired legs.
