A. Wainwright's Coast to Coast walk. (Part 1) St.Bee's Head to Haweswater

[@edwardstroud8245]

Love it - a fell walker and a chain smoker, and lived into his 80s 😀

I bought this on VHS. This series stuck in my head all these from when I was a child. And the music, so haunting, Holst Brook Green Suite

A. W. Wainwright never seems to wear any Goretex...I might get myself an M&S jacket too. Thank you for posting this :)

[@borderreiver3288]

what an amazing man with foresight to create his walking books which opened up the world of walking the Fells to thousands of people...his guide books are as popular as ever and will always be a source of information for all and future Fell walkers.....he would be astounded today to see how popular he made fell walking through his books....

@@frankiethefrank 3 years ago... but it was *epic*. Bad weather at the start in the lakes but west/north yorkshire were *glorious*. Met some awesome poeple I'm still in touch with :-)

[@frankiethefrank]

@@richbuilds_com I’ve very much got the craving

@@frankiethefrank Do it! No shame in breaking it up into chunks if you can't spare the time to do it one go. I've been back to my favourite places a few times since then (Swale Dale

I agree with AW about Haystacks, we had the privilege of hiking it back in July and yes, paid our respects to ‘Dear AW’

Walkers carry and wear so much crap these days

[@Zionist-Occupied-Government]

It's sad to see the decline of a legendary hero.. poor fella can hardly breathe and all those cigarettes have done him serious damage.

[@michaelgoulding6609]

he still lived to the age of 84, which is a grand old age, cos i.ve known multiple people that have never smoked & haven.t lived to see retirement age, but the gov keep telling us that we are all living longer, which is a load of rubbish, they just want us to pay into the system for longer & receive very little out of it, i think stresses of today is one of the biggest killer,s.
