Classic Wainwright Walks
Walk in Wainwright's footsteps.
Alfred Wainwright (1907 - 1991) shared what he called a love affair with the Lake District. He was a fell walker and writer. His 214 routes to the summit of Lakeland fells were published in the seven-volume guide Pictorial guide to the Lakeland Fells. He later wrote many other books including long distant walks amongst which is the first route of the Coast to Coast which is still hugely popular today. Later on in his life, he became a TV personality featuring in a collection of walking series and a documentary of his life.
Wainwrights walks and routes have inspired so many to get out walking in the hills and started many people heading out and 'bagging Wainwrights' - a practice where you climb as many of Wainwrights summits as possible.
