Lake District Trails - The Westmorland High Way with Mark Richards

This film concisely defines an original week's walking holiday in two parts. The opening sequence is a three-day journey, drawing you from the eastern edge of the Lake District National Park through ten spellbindingly beautiful Lakeland valleys, destination - the fabulous mountain sanctuary at the head of Great Langdale.
There, at the ultimate 'high divide' and westernmost limit of old Westmorland, amid such enigmatic heights as Pike o'Blisco, Crinkle Crags, Bowfell and the much-loved Langdale Pikes, Mark embarks upon the thrilling second phase of his High Way adventure, climbing the dizzy heights, there's romance and drama in every step. An invigoration to walk, an inspiration to watch.
A guide booklet detailing the walk can be downloaded here:

    Have you thought of offering your films to independent media? With the rise of demand for quality work, I'm sure there's a market, and your work is definitely of a very high quality indeed. Thank you very much!

    Beautiful film. I suspect though - in respect of his early comment on the railway main line - that the trainspotters of the past had as much chance of seeing the Bournemouth Belle on that line as they would the Flying Scotsman! (unless it had been diverted from the East Coast mainline.)

    I'm mystified. Why are the stone walls so thick and high? Certainly smaller walls would define boundaries just as well and keep livestock from wandering out? Seems like an incredible output of energy.

    Beautiful with first class audio and video technology, but I'm curious. Why do you have hiking poles when you don't use them and where are your water bottles for such long treks?
