The Synges · Tim Synge, 2025
The Synges.
The Synges are the Lake District summits over 300 m (about 1,000 ft), with Castle Crag the one below it, within the National Park — 670 tops, including all 214 Wainwrights — as set out in Tim Synge's book. It began as one walker's private study: frustrated that Wainwright's 214 left out so many worthwhile summits, Synge compiled his own complete list, first published in 1995 as The Lakeland Summits. Years later, online baggers adopted it and “the Synges” entered the canon of recognised hill lists alongside the Wainwrights and Birketts, now tracked by the Database of British and Irish Hills and the Long Distance Walkers Association. The 2025 edition revises the original 646 to a challenging 670. With no pre-ordained routes, bagging them is as much about devising your own lines as ticking summits — and it takes you well off the beaten track.

About the author
Tim Synge has walked in the Lake District since the age of sixteen, when he became hooked on the Wainwrights. His curiosity about the fells Wainwright left out led to The Lakeland Summits (1995), a personal survey he never expected anyone to read; its adoption by the hill-bagging community turned his list into a recognised round, updated thirty years on as The Synges.
