Documentary telling the life story of cult author and renowned fell-walker Alfred Wainwright in England's Lake District.
Eric Robson joins the master fellwalker and shares the highlights of his 190 mile walk from St. Bees Head in Cumbria to Robin Hood's Bay on the North Yorkshire Coast. This classic, but unofficial, long-distance route was devised by Wainwright in 1972 and traversed what AW described as "the grandest territory in the North of England." Two-thirds of the route lie within three National Parks and today AW’s achievement is regarded by discerning walkers as the finest long trek in Britain.
When the young Alfred Wainwright first saw the mountains of Lakeland it was an experience that changed his life. As an old man he recreated his love affair with Lakeland in the company of Eric Robson, exploring Orrest Head and Kendal, Haweswater and Borrowdale. It was journey that culminated in an emotional visit to his favorite mountain—Haystacks.
