The Wainwrights are the 214 fells (hills and mountains) described in A. Wainwright's seven-volume ''Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells'' (1955–66). Over two million copies of the ''Pictorial Guides'' have been sold worldwide since their publication.〔(Wainwright guides saved ), ''BBC News'', 13 February 2003. Retrieved 22 October 2006.〕 Visiting all 214 Wainwrights is a common form of peak bagging. The Long Distance Walkers Association maintains a register of walkers who have completed the Wainwrights; in November 2007, there were 459 people on the list, of whom 40 had completed more than once.〔(Long Distance Walkers Association – Hill Walkers Register ). Retrieved 7 March 2008.〕 Dave Hewitt estimates that the total number of completers could be over 50% higher than the LDWA's figure.〔Dave Hewitt, "Interlude: A few thoughts on Fellbagging" in Hewitt (ed.), ''A Bit of Grit on Haystacks'' (Disley: Millrace, 2004), pp. 87–88.〕 The Ramblers Association reported in 2008 that a boy of six years, four months and 27 days had become the youngest person to complete the Wainwrights. The first continuous round of all 214 Wainwrights was completed by Alan Heaton between 29 June and 8 July 1985 starting and finishing at Keswick Moot Hall, with a total time of 9 days and 16 hours. Joss Naylor set a new record of 7 days 1 hour between 26 June and 2 July 1986. This was beaten by Steve Birkinshaw between 14 and 20 June 2014, who completed the round in 6 days and 13 hours. Steve Birkinshaw's route was around 320 miles (515 km) with 118,000 ft (36,000m) of ascent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Summit Magazine )〕 The term is occasionally extended to include the fells mentioned in Wainwright's supplementary volume ''The Outlying Fells of Lakeland'' (1974), although this article only lists the original 214 fells. The said fells are listed here by book, sorted in descending order of height. ''See also List of fells in the Lake District for a full list in height order, and List of hills in the Lake District for more Lakeland hills.'' ==Book One: The Eastern Fells== (詳細はHelvellyn and they primarily consist of a north-south ridge running between Ullswater and Lakeland's Central Valley. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Wainwrights」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
