The Wainwright Companion is the essential app for working through all 214 fells across the English Lake District.
NAVIGATE WITH CONFIDENCE
Follow GPS-guided routes on 225+ bundled trails, or plan your own multi-fell walk, with Pro. Live navigation shows your position, distance remaining, time estimate, and the route's full elevation profile. Off-route alerts keep you going in the right direction and offline maps ensure you're not relying on signal in the fells. Summit detection automatically bags all the fells along the way.
