Doing the Wainwrights

Steve Larkin
£9.99

What on earth is a sixty-three year old man with a recent history of heart disease and cancer together with a marked tendency to wimpishness doing out on the Lake District fells alone in all seasons of the year? Answer: attempting to climb the 214 fells over 1,000 feet as described by Alfred Wainwright in his Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells and to do so within twelve months, raising money for charity in the process.

Fellwalking With Wainwright

Derry Brabbs
£25.00

For this new edition of the fellwalking classic, virtually all of the photographs have been re-taken by the legendary Lakeland photographer, Derry Brabbs. The result is the transformation of an already fine book into something spectacular.
After the completion of his 'Pictorial Guides', A. Wainwright decided to write a narrative, descriptive account of his eighteen favourite walks and these are now indisputably the eighteen classic long Lake District walks. Described and discussed by a man who was both a master fellwalker and a lover of the hills with an unparalleled facility for writing about them, the result is a book of unmatched quality.
With the text updated to account for minor changes in the terrain and with stunning new photography, this book will immediately take its place as the most beautiful, most authoritative and most useful book on the much much-loved Lakeland hills.

The Wainwright Memorial Walk


£14.99

In 1938 the pioneering fell-walker, Alfred Wainwright, devised a walking tour in the English Lake District. For almost sixty years it was one of Lakeland's best kept secrets, yet in its 102 miles and almost 35,000 feet of ascent it would visit and enjoy every major summit, valley and lake.
In this DVD, Wainwright's fell-walking companion Eric Robson has reconstructed the walk in eleven day stages.
