Essential kit for Wainwright walking

Good kit makes the difference on the fells, especially when covering multiple summits in a single day. For navigation you will need the OS Explorer OL5 (North East Lake District) and OL4 (North West Lake District) maps, which cover the whole area between them. A reliable compass is essential on the higher routes.

For footwear, most Wainwrights are accessible in good trail shoes in dry conditions. A comfortable day pack, lightweight waterproof jacket, warm fleece and merino wool socks round out the essentials for a full day on the fells.
