Day One. I’m starting off with an easy one. (A) Name the Wainwright Fell (2 points) and (B) This fell has a natural feature that is also the name of another Wainwright Fell, what is that name? (3 points).

Day Two. A little more difficult today. (A) Name the Wainwright Fell (2 points) and (B) Approximately 1km north of this stile is another Wainwright fell, which one is it? (3 points).

Day Eleven. The old quarries shown in this sketch are probably the best clue to the location. (A) Name the Wainwright Fell (2 points) and (B) Give the name of this abandoned quarry. (3 points)

Day Twelve. Could this be any easier?. (A) Name the Wainwright Fell (2 points) and (B) Walk along this track to the road and then down into the village. What is the name of that village? (3 points)

Day Thirteen. You could earn some easy points today, or maybe not. Hmm. (A) Name the Wainwright Fell (2 points) and (B) Give the name of this watercourse which has just dropped dramatically over a sheer drop out of view to the right. (3 points)

Bonus question (edited 17.25 5/1/25). Of all of the 15 sketches posted, in relation to Wainwright’s Pictorial Guides, two of the sketches are the “odd one’s out” with something similar in common. Which ones, and why? (3 points)

P.S. Just to let you know that all of these 5″x7″ sketches were produced in pen and watercolour and were actually produced on the day that they appeared on the quiz apart from one. (I have been busy behind the scenes so that’s why they were late). All of the sketches will be available to purchase once the answers have been posted. If you would like to reserve and of the sketches then just drop me a line.
