At
the start of 2017 I had 334 summits on my combined ticklist of TRAIL 100
summits, Nuttalls, WASHIS, Simpsons, Bridges and Buxton & Lewis
summits. 2017 was the fourth year of my fairly
arbitrary 10-year completion target and I had aimed to tick 48 summits on my
combined list which would include 30 Nuttalls and 6 TRAIL 100s.
Overall I :
went on 9 walks
walked 77.7 miles
ascended 29,206 feet
walked for 53 hrs 43 mins (including rest stops !)
reached 16 individual summits that I hadn’t been to before
reached 6 individual summits that I had been to before
reached 12 summits on my combined ticklist
reached 1 previously unclimbed TRAIL 100 summits
reached 5 previously unclimbed Nuttall summits
drove 2074 miles on trips to and from walks
2017
only saw one change to the Nuttalls list.
Carnedd y Ddelw in the
Carneddau was demoted following a resurvey but it didn’t have any effect on my
list as I had ticked it way back in 1988!
Notable
walks included Ben Lomond, Bowfell to mop up a couple of Nuttalls, Arenig Fawr
and High Cup Nick which saw another Nuttall put in the bag.
My
targets of Snaefell, the 6 Cheviot Nuttalls and Pillar Rock were unsurprisingly
untouched – maybe it’s time not to name specific targets!
During
the year I added a few more lists – Dawson, Dewey, Moss & Wright – to my own
list; another 137 summits! They are all of
2000-foot mountains in England & Wales and are recognised by the LDWA. My reasoning for including these takes a
little bit of explaining so maybe I will write a blog about it in the future.
So
after my walks, a demotion and list additions, my ongoing ticklist increased
from 334 to 459 summits!
