I developed a passion for the mountains through Scouting where as a Cub Scout over the Easter weekend in 1976 he visited the Lake District for the first time. Since then he has walked extensively around the UK, with various trips to the Alps and Himalaya. Ten years ago I decided to have greater objectives to walking the fells and subsequently completed the Wainwrights and then the Outlying Fells, Birketts, Nuttalls and Simms. Having completed a round of English and Welsh mountains i then refocused on the Lake District completing the Synges.His current projects revolve around documenting all recognised hills/ mountains from any bagging list in each of the UK’s 15 National Parks. He calls these “The Definitive Lists©” of the National Parks of the United Kingdom. In the last 12 months he has completed rounds of all 1,045 summits in the Lake District National Park and all 200 summits within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. His attention then turned to documenting all English/ Welsh Mountains over 2,000 feet / 600 metres on the same basis as his Definitive Lists resulting in a total of 921 summits completed on Tryfan North Top. In July 2020 completed the English Dodds and Dewey’s meaning all summits over 500 metres are now complete. Currently working on the Welsh equivalents and more locally to bag every summit in the County of Yorkshire.
