These are mountains located throughout England and Wales and named after John + Anne Nuttall, who have spent many years tramping
the mountains of England and Wales surveying the hundreds of lumps and bumps to see if they qualify to meet their definition of a 'Nuttall',
which is any mountain that is over 2000 feet (610 metres) that has a minimum of 50 feet (15 metres) of ascent on all sides.
There are a total of 441 summits, to date, the actual number has increased over the years as new summits have been
added, which are detailed in two guide books ...
Volume 1 - Wales, there are a total of 188 summits in this book, to date we have climbed 8 of these summits.
Volume 2 - England, there are a total of 253 summits in this book, to date we have climbed to date we have climbed 100 of these summits.

The 'Outlying Fells' is another pictorial guide book written by Alfred Wainwright, describing the lesser fells around the perimeter of the
Lake District. He describes them as "primarily for old age pensioners and others who can no longer climb high fell, but can still, within reason,
potter about on the short and easy slopes and summits of the foothills".
There are a total of 110 summits described in a series of 56 walks. To date we have climbed 3 of these summits.
