Publisher's Synopsis

In 1931 A. Wainwright and three companions walked through the Lake District on a route planned that every lake, every valley and every mountain would be seen, if not actually visited. Wainwright's map of the walk and list of highlights survived and has been made available by one of the members of the walking team. The book is mainly photographic, but is enhanced by A. Wainwright's own illustrations from his "Pictorial Guides" and captions drawn from his texts.;This is a major long-distance walk which Wainwright and his companions completed in six days over the Whitsun holiday of 1931. However, the walk can also be done in sections if preferred. Ed Geldard also took the photographs for "Wainwright in the Limestone Dales".
