 After the sellout of the initial print run produced for the launch at the Club meet at Honister Mines I am now in contact with those interested parties who sent in their orders or e-mailed their interest. The journal is produced in full colour with 48 pages with a special cover DVD produced by 214fells.com. This issue is essentially a souvenir production for all you AW fans out there who have celebrated the centenary of his birth in 2007. The journal includes never seen before photos of AW and articles relating to the great man himself. There are articles by a triumvir of famous outdoor writers and club members alike. Frances Lincoln, publishers of AW's guides, have contributed five copies of AW's Lakeland Sketchbooks as prizes along with Millrace Book's 'A Bit of Grit on Haystacks'. If you are unlucky enough not to win the copy of this latter book, an order form is enclosed with each issue in order for you to get a special reduction on the RRP.

 Having a brand is the new buzz word and I am afraid that AW has become a brand. Sadly, and I am sure he would hate this, when people mention AW in fellwalking circles, their ears prick up. Of course AW is to be admired, but when people start to abuse this name many years after his death I begin to feel that they might just have lost the plot. Although for anyone unfamiliar to AW, this book might be useful, however to most of us I think that investment in a very large barge pole will be the order. I don't want to slate the company that saved the Wainwright guides but come on Frances Lincoln, let's have some originality if you are going to use the great fellwalker's name to sell a book! |
