Description

Over 65 years of memories of the English Lake District – the fells, lakes and villages built of slate and stone; sheep and beer, bracken covered hillsides, crags and dry-stone walls in a landscape of enduring beauty. From a childhood in the 1950s to wild camping among the high peaks; from Catbells to Scafell Pike, from The Brittania Inn at Elterwater to the inn at Wasdale Head, and from hotels to caravans and leaky tents, the author will take you through years of discovery in this enchanting place.

Undeterred by such obstacles as the wrong tent or the wrong boat, steeply intimidating ascents and long slogs in driving rain, the author tells his story of discovering the Lakeland landscape. From the wonder of childhood encounters to wide panoramas from the highest summits, high lonely tarns and inquisitive sheep, it's told with honesty, humour and the worthy pursuit of a good pub.

You will know these places, or if you don’t you’ll wish you did. This is an engaging recollection of all things Lakeland.
