Alfred Wainwright war ein autodidaktischer Kartograph und Autor, dessen tiefe Liebe zum Lake District sein umfangreiches Werk beflügelte. Seine Reiseführer sind bekannt für ihre akribischen handgezeichneten Karten und detaillierten Beobachtungen, die aus unzähligen Stunden des Durchquerens der Fells entstanden sind. Wainwrights Schriften sind mehr als nur Navigationshilfen; sie sind herzliche Zeugnisse der Schönheit und Einsamkeit der Berge. Sein einzigartiger künstlerischer Stil und seine intime Verbindung zur Landschaft bieten den Lesern eine tiefe Wertschätzung für die natürliche Welt.

First published in 1973, A. Wainwright's Coast to Coast is the most authoritative and useful guide to one of the world’s most beautiful walks. It covers rights of way and areas of open access between the Irish Sea and the North Sea and passes through three of Great Britain’s National the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, and the North Yorkshire Moors, all areas of outstanding beauty. Providing a wide and varied range of scenery with changing landscapes over a distance of 190 miles, it is one of the most challenging and rewarding of long-distance walks. This new edition has been updated to reflect minor changes in the terrain, and many of the original photographs, taken by Derry Brabbs and first published in 1987, have been retaken by the legendary lakeland photographer. The result is the transformation of a superb guidebook into one that is truly sublime.

A. Wainwright finished this, his last book, shortly before his death in January 1991. As his eyesight failed, Wainwright relied on his memories of the landscape he loved. This book is full of personal reminiscences of happy explorations in the days when Lakeland had fewer visitors.Wainwright travels through 42 principal valleys and their side valleys, from the best known and most beautiful to the lesser known or more remote valleys. Throughout he finds happiness in nature, which is disturbed only when he perceives man's negative effect on the landscape.
Comprising Fellwalking with Wainwright & Wainwright on the Lakeland Mountain Passes
Fellwalking with Wainwright- 18 fellwalks including the classic Fairfield Horseshoe and the ascents to Scafell, Skiddaw and Helvellyn. Wainwright on the Lakeland Mountain Passes-describes the routes over each of the forty-nine crossings that fit his definition of a pass. This superb double volume will provide a source of endless pleasure for all those who love this perenially popular region of England. It will provide a wonderful memento for those who have 'retired' from fellwalking or live far from the hills, and it will be a foretaste of joys to come for those who have the high places before them.
Limestone country covers the north of England areas of the Yorkshire Dales and Pennine Spur. It is a landscape full of green fields and grey stone walls, limestone pavements - such as at Malham Cove - and limestone scars. The book recalls many walks there that the author has made, which he wrote about in his book walks in the limestone country. This book is illustrated with colour photographs by Ed Geldard.
Wainwright has selected 20 of Lakeland's principal fells which have the status of mountains and rather than describing a walk up, around and down each, his copy is more a celebration of each - he describes the particular attributes of each, the views from each top, and any outliers which have particular merit. Derry Brabb's photographs complement his text superbly.
