.A Coast to Coast Walk: A Pictorial Guide (Wainwright Pictorial Guides)

by: A. Wainwright

September 14, 2007
I did the Coast to Coast walk back in '89 (in baking hot weather) and again - partly - in '96 (in pouring rain). Up to this day the memory of this walk remains with me as vividly as ever and I consider that forthnight as the most wonderful two weeks in my life. AW learnt me to appreciate the North English Countryside with its quiet villages and open spaces, its desolate moorlands and austere fells. Furthermore, I consider this guide a little gem because of the hand drawn illustrations, maps and (witty) narrative. I mean - who hand-writes a book?
These days you will need additional map material because the route has changed in places, but this book is a requirement. I still remember reading the C-to-C walker's log book in the Danby Wiske ... Read More:

.Wainwright Walks: Complete BBC Series 1 [2007]

starring: Alex Cornish - composer

June 11, 2007
Having watched the second series of this before the first, I really wanted to get my hands on this DVD. It contains less walks, but also has more information on the very person these walks are dedicated to - Alfred Wainwright. Having climbed three of these fells (not many, I know, but I'm working on it) myself, I can appreciate what a mammoth task it must have been to simply climb all 214 of them. But then to undertake the job of documenting them for the enjoyment of others, it's absolutely amazing. The Lakes are a beautiful part of the world, and it's great that these DVD's have been put together to hopefully inspire people to get of their bottoms and out into the hills.

It's certainly had that effect on me. Although I've climbed three ... Read More:

This series about the Wainwright walks is just super. Julia Bradbury is of course an outstanding presenter. Everything looks so natural and well produced. The back ground history is very interesting. I liked the over head shots of the walk also.

A super DVD set!

.The Best of Wainwright

by: Alfred Wainwright

October 30, 2004
This is an absolute must-have if you have any interest walking. Even if you have no interest in walking you can't fail to be taken in by the consistently detailed drawings and conversational prose. Each and every page contains the most beautiful pen drawn maps, views and very accurate drawings of the Lakeland fells themselves. Further, Wainwright takes the reader through each fell climb in his own handwriting which, startlingly, justifies to both margins with not a hyphenated word in sight - a feat in itself which I've not seen elsewhere. Perhaps I'm impressed because I'm a graphic designer but I really don't see how anyone could be disappointed with this fascinating book.

.The English Lakes: South Western Area (OS Explorer Map Series): South Western Area (OS Explorer Map Series): South Western Area (OS Explorer Map Series)

by: Ordnance Survey

February 11, 2008
This is the best map you can buy for walking in the area. (Unless it's raining in which case get the plastic coated one). Only one criticism, the way the Ordnance Survey have the annoying habit of calling the area 'The English Lakes' when everybody else calls it 'The Lake District'.

.Wainwright's TV Walks

by: A. Wainwright

June 15, 2007
Great pictorial guide using Wainwrights original drawings for 18 walks. Taken from the BBC and Granada tv series. Accompanied by detailed but simple descriptions of what to expect during the walks. Good selection of fell walks from each direction of the Lake District.
