Product Description

Originally compiled in the 1950s and early 1960s, the Wainwright walking guides are perhaps the most distinctive and unusual such guides ever devised. The result of painstaking and lengthy research by their namesake and author over a period of thirteen years, the guides have retained their original format and design to this day. The books contain intricate hand drawn sketches by the author, detailing routes of ascent, and gradients of the hills in and around the Lake District and outlying regions. The seven guides covering the Fells district, as well as the Outlying Fells of Lakeland will be reissued by Frances Lincoln in April.

About the Author

Born in Blackburn in 1907, Alfred Wainwright left school at the age of 13. A holiday at the age of 23 kindled a life long love affair with the Lake District. Following a move to Kendal in 1941 Wainwright devoted every spare minute of his days to researching and compiling the original seven Pictorial guides. Following Wainwright's death in 1991, Michael Joseph bought the complete list including the later guidebooks and numerous sketchbooks. The rights have now been sold to Frances Lincoln, and the printing of the books has been moved to their original location in Kendal.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Lake District - A Different View, 26 Sep 2003

By	"strikkers" - See all my reviews

The is a fantastic little book. It has many routes that you would not even notice unless you knew they were already there. The illustrations, even though they are hand-drawn, are very accurate and can be related to at some point in the walk. On many walks, there are several options given and there is normally sufficient detail in the text to actually not require an Ordnance Survey map, although I would always recommend to take one (as stated within the book). This is the first Wainwright book I have purchased and I will be purchasing some more very shortly.
