Wainwright Memorial Lecture on Saturday 28th September at 7.00 pm at Rheged, Penrith – In Support of Fix the Fells

Our speaker for the 2024 Lecture will be Graham Uney, author of Walking the Wainwrights – 64 Walks to Climb the 214 Wainwrights of Lakeland.

Graham fell in love with the mountains at a young age. He completed the Wainwrights just before his 18th birthday, and in 1998 he became the first person to backpack over all the 2000 ft summits of Wales (the Welsh Hewitts) in one continuous expedition. He has since completed two more rounds of the Welsh Hewitts, and all of the English Hewitts, and in Scotland has climbed more than 200 Munros and 100 Corbetts. He has also been a rock climber since his early teens, and has a number of first ascents to his name, mainly in Yorkshire, but a few in the Lake District too.

Graham’s talk will be focused around his book.

Tickets, at £12 and £8 for Society members, are now available from Rheged by clicking the link below.
