Remarkable man, I actually got quiet emotional watching that....I've just started walking the lakes at 44yrs old, such a beautiful place...just ordered his books to help me on my next visit

What a wonderful man. I’m 21 and currently ticking the Wainwrights off. I am local to the area so I don’t want to take the Lakes for granted. This was a lovely documentary about him, such an interesting and inspiring person. 🤎

I did the Coast to Coast Walk when I was 18 years old. It changed my life for the better. Thanks Alfred Wainwright!

Was on Haystacks for the second time yesterday . It’s magical looking towards Buttermere and Crummock water standing on the shoulders of a Lake District giant AW. Walked down to warnscale Bothy and looked through its iconic picturesque window . Brilliant walk starting off at Honister and dropping down below Fleetwith Pike. I moved to Kendal a month ago and can walk to the town hall in 3 minutes. A couple of years ago I had a tour in there where his office was. In wetherspoons around the corner the walls have wainwright pictures up , a couple that you see in this documentary

Now living in Spain but have frequently walked in the Lake District using Wainwright's amazing guides. I bought all of them primarily for the pen and ink drawings and his ability to express form and texture, landscape and buildings, using simple pen and ink. They are absolute masterpieces, each of them, and could, if necessary, stand on their own as works of art in their own right. The text, the immaculate spacing, the lettering, the whole design of each and every page is a lasting monument to precision, style, fine artistic ability, patience and an unswerving determination to produce a unique piece of work. Thankyou Wainwright.

Until this week I had never heard of Wainwright. We took a family holiday to the lakes and discovered him when we climbed our first Wainwright - Gowbarrow. How wonderful to come across this documentary. The struggles in climbing the fells are such a metaphor for life.

Lake district is a true national treasure, a truly special place

just bought the books.i can relate to everything about mr wainwright. if i was a director id make this into a film.

If you understand AWs thoughts you will appreciate the Lakes and every other natural beauty we have in our magical British Isles. If you are struck by its spell I am sure will stay with you!

Sheer perfection. No idea how many times I've watched this. Many times. Am now going to watch again. One of the very greatest of men. Thank you for posting.

A wonderfully work driven talented man. A pleasure to see and hear about him again. We need more people like him. Thank you I have enjoyed this.

Thanks Garry for this, I did the A W's Coast to Coast Walk a few years ago now, plus some of the fells and found his guidebook invaluable. What a love and dedication of the Lakeland Fells he had.

Love The Lakes, been there many times! my favourite town is Keswick and favourite lake is Derwent Water.

I have been to the Lake District 3 times so far. But this film is absolutely beautiful. The music is spectacular as is the scenery. Thank you for uploading this it is breath taking to watch. This film show's us how beautiful the Lake District really is. I have thoroughly enjoyed this film. It has inspired me to try and do something different. PC. 17. 08. 2023.

Thoroughly enjoyed this very entertaining documentary not only for the Great Alfred Wainwright.But for the lake district national park

One of the most beautiful places in England. I have had the pleasure to walk alone there many years ago. I climbed to the top of Scarfel Pike and wild camped there many years ago. Once i reached the top wow what a beautiful sight. The lakes just was so beautiful as i looked down on them. I have not got any of the Wainwright books so i must look out for them. I also walked to the top of Kirkstone Pass 1500ft this also has beautiful views from the top a nice bar with good food is there so plenty to drink and eat before i descended down with the sheep in the field following me on my way.. Regards Mick....

To the adage" It's never too late!" is true, I just found AW. and through a man calling himself The Wiltshire Man. I made the journey with him thru the lake region in his 3 part Video Wainwright coast to coast. 10 days and 192 miles of beauty, and at each appropriate moment he applauds and makes note of Alfred. And the joy he's gotten from his books, and guides. so now I too can look at my beautiful Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts, with another eye of two men. and relish what they both have given us. Thank you both for your love of country and hills and man.

Watched during Pandemic Lockdown this cheered me up no end really missing getting out on the hills, I’ll have to wait a While though!

Remarkable person, remarkable story, remarkable achievement.

Thank you for uploading this. Really enjoyed watching. 👍🏻
