WALKING BOOKS: Wainwright

Alfred Wainwright's Pictorial Guides have served several generations of walkers and are still in my opinion the best companion for the fell walker. On top of which, each volume is entirely hand-drawn and a superb work of art in its own right.

On the man himself ...		And in his own words ...
WALKING BOOKS: Mark Richards Some are calling Mark the “new Wainwright”. Whilst that may be overstated, his guidebooks contain a rich blend of photographs, sketchs and careful text which forms an excellent resource for those who want to explore the fells.
WALKING BOOKS: Bill Birkett Another experienced guide book writer who can be enjoyed by both novices and experts alike.
