For this spectacular new edition of the fell walking classic, virtually all the photographs have been retaken by Wainwright’s original Lakeland photographer, Derry Brabbs. After completing his Pictorial Guides, A. Wainwright was persuaded to write a narrative, descriptive account of his eighteen favourite Lake District walks. Described by a man who was both a master fell walker and a lover of the hills with a rare facility for writing about them, the result is a book of unique quality.The text has been updated to take account of minor changes in the terrain and the result is not merely the most beautiful but also the most authoritative and useful book on the much loved Lakeland hills. For this new edition of the fell walking classic, virtually all the photographs have been retaken by the legendary lakeland photographer, Derry Brabbs. The result is the transformation of an already fine book into something spectacular.

Review: Lovers of the English Lake District almost universally love Alfred Wainwright’s wonderful volumes of `Pictorial Guides’ detailing individual fells in guidebook format. In more narrative style this `Fellwalking with Wainwright’ AW links some of the fells together or he describes combined ascent-descent routes to give 18 circular walks claimed as “the author’s favourite walks in Lakeland’ ‘. Any such choice is inevitably subjective, but having done all 18 I can vouch for their top quality. If his already sizeable book could have been increased to a `top-twenty’ I would have liked AW to include a short circuit of Grasmoor and Whiteside from Lanthwaite Green, plus the superb but longer ridge walk around Ennerdale’s summits from Great Borne to Crag Fell – incorporating his beloved Haystacks. Other subjective issues would be a preference for Birkness Combe rather than Burtness Combe, or Pavey Arc rather than Ark – but I dare not contradict AW. However I can fill a gap in his encyclopaedic knowledge of the Lake District by naming his 2 unknown gullies on Great End (page 184) where G and H are respectively One Pitch Gully and Window Gully.

Alfred Wainwright MBE (17 January 1907 – 20 January 1991), who preferred to be known as A. Wainwright or A.W., was a British fellwalker, guidebook author and illustrator. His seven-volume Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells, published between 1955 and 1966 and consisting entirely of reproductions of his manuscript, has become the standard reference work to 214 of the fells of the English Lake District. Among his 40-odd other books is the first guide to the Coast to Coast Walk, a 182-mile (293-kilometer) long-distance footpath devised by Wainwright which remains popular today.
