Synopsis
The Wainwright Companion is a fully illustrated collection of fascinating facts, statistics, trivia and opinion based on A Wainwright's legendary guidebooks to the English Lake District. Which fell has most waterfalls? The longest ridges? The roughest ascent? The best views? The wettest path? The only ascent description that starts with a descent? And what did AW ever do for the Romans? All these questions and hundreds more are answered in this 'book about the books' - the seven Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells and their companion, The Outlying Fells of Lakeland. New & Used

What Reviewers Are Saying
'No-one has analysed the Pictorial Guidebooks produced by Alfred Waiwright more closely than Clive Hutchby. He's counted the clouds in every book and the people - very few - and the rare self-portraits AW drew of himself. Clive's obsessive approach will have you refer again abnd again to the originals to match your favourites or try and catch him out on trivia/ statistics.' Cumberland News 'I sugges the book should be called The Wainwright Compendium. it is absolutely crammed with information, statistics and facts... Sean McMahon's photographs are, of course, superb.' Footsteps A must for any Wainwright aficionado and is packed with facts and features about his eight classic guidebooks. WALK magazine
