Product Description

Review
With Mr Wainwright's style so perfectly matched by Derry Brabbs' lingeringly evocative camera, the outcome for all those who truly love hills is a treasure and a minor classic. If the only place it was on sale were on top of Scafell, in a blizzard, on the shortest day in winter, I would still urge all aficionados to put on their boots and get up there while stocks lasted.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lift your eyes up to the hills - then go there, 7 Sep 2007
By Bob Sherunkle (London, UK) - See all my reviews
Purists (a breed whom AW understood well) will probably argue that the only genuine article is the original set of seven Pictorial Guides.

If they do, they are partially missing the point. The original guides are the core, and literally the source, of many of the Wainwright books which followed them. This is one of those books. Wainwright's text is enhanced by a smattering of his exquisite draughtsmanship, and by the beautiful Derry Brabbs photographs. In a recent TV interview, Brabbs showed that he has a good handle on AW's strengths and foibles.

As a very average fellwalker, and a late starter, I yesterday reached the point where I have completed half of the 18 walks in this book. The book was the biggest single inspiration to get me this far. Someone on a recent TV programme (this may have been Derry Brabbs again)called Wainwright a "trudger". Nothing wrong with trudging if it gets you there, and you use the experience to enthral generations of trudgers by your description of the routes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but the original is better., 12 Nov 2008
By Chubby Cheeks (Burnley, Lancashire.) - See all my reviews
I highly recommend this book as probably being the best of all the 'coffee table' books written after the Pictorial Guides. However, the original edition (1984- this edition above is the 2006 edition even though it says 1984) is better but if you cannot find one then buy this one instead.
