Wainwright - legendary author artist and fell-walker - set out to walk with three friends over the Whitsunday holiday of 1931. The route the friends took - recorded in sketch maps at the time - is highlighted here on maps from Wainwright's much-loved Pictorial Guides accompanied by text from the guides and Wainwright's other writings. Wainwright's walk - originally planned to take six days - is here split into eleven manageable stages. These can be taken either as independent one-day walks or as a whole. The route starts in Windermere and ends in Ambleside. Along the way Wainwright promises to lead the walker everywhere worth mentioning in the Lake District on a route devised to make sure that 'Every lake Every valley Every mountain will be seen if not actually visited'. Born in Blackburn in 1907 Alfred Wainwright left school at the age of 13. A holiday at the age of 23 kindled a life-long love affair with the Lake District. Following a move to Kendal in 1941 Wainwright devoted every spare minute of his days to researching and compiling the original seven Pictorial Guides. Other guidebooks and sketchbooks followed. Following Wainwright's death in 1991 Michael Joseph bought the complete list. In 2003 the rights were sold to Frances Lincoln and the printing of the Pictorial Guides returned to their original location in Kendal. All seven Pictorial Guides and many other guides and sketchbooks have been re-issued by Frances Lincoln in an on-going programme of re-publication and revision.

Advantages: Makes me and many others want to take to the hills to enjoy their beauty Disadvantages: Episodes are short so not all the detail is there
This is a fantastic DVD box set for anybody who likes hillwalking particularly in the English Lake District. In the two series, Julia Bradbury of Crimewatch takes us on a journey into the mountains of the Lake District. The series is not only about the hills themselfs but also about the life and work of Alfred Wainwright who described in detail 214 fells in seven books call the Pictorial Guides. Julia climbs a new fell each episode and uses the Pictorial Guides to help on her ascent of the fells. She describes with a great passion the detail in the Pictorial Guides that Alfred Wainwright is famous for. Julia does many of the famous fells in the lakes including Scafell Pike, Castlecrag, Catbells, Haystacks, Bowfell and Crinkle Crags, Pillar, Helm Crag, Blencathra and High Street. Each walk is shown in detail and in each episode she ...
Advantages: A amazing one of a kind film, highly interesting and thought provoking Disadvantages: none
are so true to life and so moving, well maybe it is but i haven't seen them lol. I don't often find i remember films all that well unless they where 80s classics. I find nothing ever matches up to them for me in terms of how great they are but this really does. Every single aspect of it is absolutely brilliant, from the excellent soundtrack that i am sure most people will love to the excellent storyline. This film has impact, its impressive and as i am writing this review i am going to look for the DVD to buy online, so i can have my own copy to watch when i want. ...
Advantages: dvd features commentary by actors, nicholas sparks, etc Disadvantages: nothing
characters. You end up feeling involved, crying at some parts, laughing at others. That is where I believe, does the magic of A Walk to Remember starts.
One last note- I?ve read the book and I?m and avid Nicholas Sparks fan. But I wouldn?t compare the book and the movie. They are quite different, there have been numerous changes but both of them are outstanding- in their own way!
