7 Year Old Girl Climbs 214 Hills

A 7-year-old girl has climbed all 214 Lake District “Wainwright” peaks. That's about 214 more hills than I've ever climbed. The feat has taken her four years, walking a total of 710 miles and climbing 230,000ft.

Kerry followed in the footsteps of her big sister Ellen, who became the youngest person to climb them all last year when she was nine. The title then went to two boys who were a few months younger.

Now Kerry’s parents David and Clare are proud she has grabbed it back for the family by scaling the last fell — 3,210ft Scafell Pike.

Chuffed Kerry, of Caldbeck, Cumbria, said: “I’m really pleased to have beaten my sister.

“My favourite was Rannerdale because we had a game of hide and seek with the crags up there.

“I take jelly teddies and chocolate bars to help when I get tired.”

I love the Lake District! I don't know how many I've climbed, but I'm sure I've done almost all of them... I was up Scafell just a couple of weekends ago! Incredible views- and when you look down, a fighter jet is flying below you!
