The Lake District fells hold the power to shape lives. We asked a handful of friends to describe how they have been influenced by a specific peak. Words by John Manning.
A truly brilliant, profound read. We never know what stories are behind photos of people. In a depressing time in this world it’s so inspiring to know that there are good people just doing good things. Thank you. I will treasure this article.
Eileen took me up my first ascent of Loughrigg Fell in the summer of 2020 where we saw wild orchid. The fell was empty and magical. Thank you Eileen - a happy memory from a difficult time.
Thanks Rachael.

Thanks Sarah. What kind words - really appreciate them.
Miss John’s work on Lakeland Walker.
Ditto. (And on Cumbria, too!) Hope that we can bring some of John's talents to readers of Hefted.
That’s kind Matt, thanks so much – I miss that magazine too! All credit to Hefted’s Dave Felton for coming up with the concept for Cherished Fells.
Castle Crag every time.
Great choice!
Just up the road, too. Counted our blessings every day we’ve lived in Cumbria.

Lovely memory, Emily. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for these moving and thought-provoking stories, beautifully told.
Thank you, a thought provoking read. People not just enjoying the hills but caring for them as well.
Thanks Colin.
