When the young Alfred Wainwright first saw the mountains of Lakeland it was an experience that changed his life. As an old man he recreated his love affair with Lakeland in the company of Eric Robson, exploring Orrest Head and Kendal, Haweswater and Borrowdale. It was journey that culminated in an emotional visit to his favorite mountain—Haystacks.
In an emotional journey, AW returns with Eric Robson to the places that hold special memories—to Orrest Head ("an awakening beauty"), to Borrowdale ("the loveliest square mile in Lakeland") and to Haystacks ("the best fell top of all"), and recalls the making of his unique Guide to the Lakeland Fells.
