Finlay is 6 months old now (but looks a lot older!) and he has grown quickly. Time for us to get out on a longer walk and his first actual Wainwright summit with the relatively easy climb from Tarn Foot up to Loughrigg Fell. The day cleared out nicely with a fair few people up on the summit enjoying the lovely views.

Looking into Great Langdale.
There is a great view of Windermere from here.
Higher up now looking across Loughrigg Tarn to Wetherlam.
Elter Water is in view in this photo.

A truncated (and dare I say it ugly) repair to the trig column, it's a shame it couldn't have been rebuilt properly.
Blue skies looking to Dunmail Raise.
Well done Finlay, that's Wainwright #1 in the bag!
Back down at Loughrigg Tarn.
