Synopsis
All the 17 walks shown on the popular Granada and BBC TV series, plus a bonus from the Outlying Fells, are covered in full in this handy book, bringing together more than 250 pages from the Pictorial Guides. Wainwright's old friend Eric Robson sets the scene for each walk with stories from the days he spent filming with the great fell-walker, adding his own personal impressions of the fell and the chosen ascent. Practical sections give the length of each route, the ascent in feet, the best O.S. map to take along, how to get to the start of the walk, and suggestions for the best route down. Here is all you need to get out and enjoy the Lakeland landscape -- and who better to take along as your guide than the one and only Alfred Wainwright -- much-loved British character and fell-walking legend.

Customer Reviews

Wainwrights TV walks
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.
