Brings tears to my eyes watching the great man. I totally know where he was coming from. Nothing beats the beauty of nature and the lakes have it all.

AW a gifted, quiet, humble, passionate, charitable man. So rare nowadays! Have used his still indispensable guides for well over 30 years. Lost several and replaced, bought as gifts for others, none are better! God Bless AW, thanks for supporting the animal sanctuary with all the proceeds from your "love letters to the fells". I may just join you up there one day.

I’ve just done Haystacks today and said “hi” to his ashes which are up there in “Innominate” tarn. 103 done....111 to do!

Haystacks is a beautiful stunning place. Innominate tarn has an atmosphere of peace. We hiked up there back in July & did our own video tribute of AW.

Amid the morning's despair over genocide and our faltering democracy, this lovely man popped up in my youtube feed. Never heard of him or the Haystacks, but after work will need to explore...

Something everybody should put on their 'Bucket List'! It's stunningly beautiful up there. I'd recommend the ascent via Fleetwith Pike - that's a killer! 😂

We did the first filmed walk to Haystacks top - AW's fave - in 1995. Betty wished us well - how about that!

i disagree with the below, if you are grumpy by nature why should you change? not all people are happy all their lives all the time......so why pretend, i loved his curmudgeonly character, hes like a hard stubborn granite escarpment. Maybe people misinterpreted his behaviour, many people seem grumpy but actually if you ignore that and give some cantankerous vibes back they realise how bad they seem and lighten up, I hate false happyness so id rather people act how they feel with no pretence

AW wrote shortly before he died "By and large I've enjoyed the last twenty years of my life, but I'm glad I won't be around to see the next twenty." He would have hated the selfie age.

Really? Then why did he spend 13 years writing the user friendly walking guidebooks he is famous for? I dont understand where you get this impression.

Yes, his books are almost works of art, I have all his 'guides' and they have added to my enjoyment of the Lakes. But that doesnt mean he was great! He even cut his son out of his will for no good reason.

Not really a great man, read his biography. He treated his first wife and his son pretty badly. Selfish, mean and narrow minded.
