Why not do something amazing today?
No, I am not talking about something as painful as giving blood! Why not make a small donation to the charity WaterAid. Just £15 can provide one person with a lasting supply of safe, clean water. Our ambitious fundraising target of £3210 is calculated to help one person for each of Wainwright's 214 fells!. Find out more and make a small donation
Please note that I won't be able to do updates every day for the next few days, I hope this doesn't ruin your bank holiday weekend! (I am sure it won't)
