For 8 years I have worked in an office at the foot of Wandsfell. Long lunch breaks and hungover mornings after the christmas party have been filled with assents of this mighty peak. Only in turns out we were going up the wrong hill; turns out that the ‘real’ Wandsfell is about half a mile to the north.
On a snowy Sunday afternoon Dan and I ran into the dark and up the ‘real’ Wandsfell, which Wainwright describes as “an unattractive place, rarely visited, better is the rocky top of Wansfell Pike which is mildly interesting and unique in possessing an iron gate” and onto Wansfell pike. I would agree with Wainright, an iron gate is indeed more interesting than the rounded top the ‘real Wansfell’. So to all those who have never heard of Wandsfell and all those who have never been up the ‘real’ one at least you now know you are not missing out too much.
