A unique type of walking book on the Lake District is one written by someone with intimate knowledge of the Lakeland fells, who did not do so for monetary gain, but simply to express a passion for the Lakes. He would later move to Kendal from his birthplace in Blackburn, willing to take a job with a pay cut in order to begin his momentous project, detailing walking routes to every summit of Lakeland. Collectively, this volume of seven books would be known as Wainwright's Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells. He painstakingly completed one page per day handwritten with pen and ink, without the aid of typesetting. The publishers Frances Lincoln embarked upon a revision of the books to retain accuracy with the present day fells. New editions have recently been completed, which exhibit photographs by Derry Drabbs. An anniversary box set of Wainwright's Pictorial Guides has been produced to commemorate the fifty years in publication. Book 7: The Western Fells Alfred Wainwright has since written a number of other walking guide books, including the Pennine Way Companionunique in that it begins at the back and finishes at the front of the book with an accompanying strip map. Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells by Alfred Wainwright A unique type of walking book on the Lake District is one written by someone with intimate knowledge of the Lakeland fells, who did not do so for monetary gain, but simply to express a passion for the Lakes. By the s, Wainwright was becoming a TV celebrity, which he found not to his taste, being a shy man. Despite this, he has contributed to numerous TV documentaries broadcasts and interviews before his death in Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells - Wikipedia

Wainwrightdetailing the fells the local word for hills and mountains of the Lake District in northwest England. Written over a period of 13 years fromthey consist entirely of reproductions of Wainwright's manuscripthand-produced in pen and ink with no typeset material. The series has been in print almost continuously since it was first published between andwith more than 2 million copies sold. The fells described in the seven volumes have become known as the Wainwrights. As of [update] the LDWA register of those who have climbed all the fells listed names. The first five books were originally published by Wainwright's friend, Henry Marshall, Chief Librarian of Kendal and Westmorland, who took charge of publicity and administration. Another friend, Sandy Hewitson of Bateman and Hewitson Ltd agreed to print the books using Wainwright's original manuscript, although in fact the printing was done by The Westmorland Gazette in Kendal, who had taken over Bateman and Hewitson Ltd. FromWestmorland Gazette also became the publisher, and their name appears as such on the first impressions of Books Six and Seven. The books, together with details of the first impressions, are:. The second impression of Book One, released at Eastercame with a dustwrapper, and customers who had previously bought a jacket-less first impression could obtain a dustwrapper from the printer. Ina year after Wainwright's death, Michael Joseph took control The North Western Fells: Book 6: Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells (Lake District & Cumbria) all of Wainwright's books, including the Pictorial Guides, a change of which Wainwright himself was in favour. Each of the fells covered by the guides has its own chapter, which normally includes a map of the fell, comprehensive details and 3-dimensional drawings of ascent routes, ridge routes to other fells, routes of descent and a description of the summit. Carefully annotated pen and ink drawings of ascents and views accompany the details of each fell. Each book starts with a description of the geography of the area and ends with Some personal notes in conclusion. Unlike many authors who dedicate books to particular people known to them, Wainwright commences each book with an unusual dedication. These are:. Wainwright, notoriously shy, also includes one drawing of himself in each book, generally from behind, of him admiring a particular view. In the notes at the end of Book 7, Wainwright lists what he considers to be the 'finest half-dozen' fells in Lakeland. His list consists of:. A 50th anniversary edition and a box set of the original edition have been published. Leather bound versions can be found secondhand. Between andthe series was factually revised by the publishers Frances Lincolnto adjust the content to the present-day Lake District. Chris Jesty undertook the revisions, using an imitation of Wainwright's hand lettering to make the alterations look as unobtrusive as possible. The most notable changes are that the covers of the revised books show photographs of the Lake District by Derry Brabbs The North Western Fells: Book 6: Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells (Lake District & Cumbria), rather than the drawings that were on the covers of the originals, and the maps show the main paths in red. Books Four, Five, Six and Seven will follow in, and respectively. The fells included in the series are now generally known as 'the Wainwrights '. These range in height from feet Castle Crag to feet Scafell Pike. Completing all the Wainwrights is a popular peak bagging challenge. The Wainwrights differ from other bagging lists such as the Munros and Marilynshowever, in that Wainwright never set out to compile such a list himself, and inclusion is not based on objective criteria such as elevation or prominence.
