Welcome
Three men & a hip flask: what's
all that about? Well, like many blokes of our generation
(that dangerous age either side of 50) we three guys
from the North East of England Lee,
Wallace and Dean recently
started philosophising about the meaning of life. Does
man have a deeper, more fundamental purpose in life,
other than procreation and supporting Newcastle United.

In our quest for self-actualisation we realised we
shared a passion for fell walking in the Lake
District. Our ramblings had hitherto been random
affairs picking fells by virtue of their closeness to
real ale pubs rather than their physical challenge.
Nice idea but a bit shallow: we needed structure, we
needed purpose.
 And
lo it came to pass, in November 2007,
that we agreed to bag all 214 Wainwright
Fells before Wallace turned 60. The rules were very
simple: (a) we all had to bag each fell at the same
time and (b) we had to be accompanied by our fourth
member: our trusty hip-flask who provides
sustenance and motivation throughout our death-defying
expeditions.
This website chronicles our progress
to date along with a Blog
recording our trials and tribulations. More information
about us is available on
the website not that we'd understand why you'd want
to. The Gallery shows
our graceful, elegant forms in action on the fells although
on most of them, curiously, we seem to be stopping for
lunch. All images have been taken by Dean 'Cartier-Bresson'
Grindle. You are welcome to utilise the images for your
own purposes as long as they are neither libellous nor
pornographic (as if).

Wal's Fashion Slot
Fresh from his guest appearance
with Trinny &
Suzannah, Wal is modelling the
latest in nouveau rambling couture. Purchased
from the Tesco
Basics fashion collection, this
sartorial statement could soon be gracing a
fell near you.
Eschewing the rather passé
just-below-the-knee gaiter, Wal cuts a striking
form with these sexy semi-gaiters
designed to make the legs visually longer. The
inspiration is obviously from the Jane Fonda
Workout school of fashion. Only a style icon
can carry this look off so don't assume you
will look quite so a-la-mode as Wallace.
Wal has accessorised
to perfection with his matching rucksack and
Leki stick. Apparently the two-stick look is
so-ooo last year and this edgy, asymmetric look
is what all fashionistas will be sporting this
season on the fells.
