A lot of Blackburn people yearned to get out of Bburn, and see something better. It's natural. He did it, so did my father, both born about the same time, same location.

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

A lovely video, thank you for sharing. Ive been receiving spirit messages about David Bellamy recently, and this morning they were stronger than ever, so I looked him up arrived at this viewing, and am so glad I did. I ember him from his TV days ofyears ago, but haven't followed him since, and feel sure I've been missing something precious. A man with real character, a generous heart and a loving spirit. 🙏🏻💖

Even with footage of the flat where C. Isherwood was living while He was written his book!! Thanks so much for this splendid documentary.. And definitely, I must come back to Berlin sooner than later 💯

Thanks for these videos, very much appreciated. Having fallen in love with the Highlands, this is great to watch. Like the narrator spoke, "When you're away from it, it calls." The majestic wilderness, the solitude of being the only one for miles and miles is just awesome. After the WHW and GGW, the Cape Wrath Trail is next on the list. Important to mention, Scottish hospitality is just great, really great. As cold as the rain and wind sometimes might be, as friendly are the Scots in my experience. Can't wait to be back there.

The film was made in 1985. I was certainly wearing a tie even when out on the fells in the early 70s. Eric Robson looks to be dressed up for the part. I like his breeches. I had a pair certainly in the 70s - don't know where they went. I'd be pleased to wear them today.

I had lost my copy of Wainwright’s Coast to Coast so I found a used one on Amazon and bought it. To my dismay what I received was not a Wainwright but a mediocre interpretation of the walk. I promptly returned it much to the annoyance of the seller who told me I had done her wrong. “Sad,” I thought, for she was the one who lacked the knowledge of this man’s great legacy.

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.
