 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.

| HAVE YOU SEEN? |

 This five part series features an hour long documentary of the famous fell walker and guide writer, and four 30 minute programmes with Julia Bradbury walking in AW's footsteps along his favourite walks. Including Haystacks, Blencathra, Castle Crag and the highest English Munro of them all, this is a definite view for anyone interested in AW, the fells or both. |

 Bringing together some well known views with some not so familiar, Mark Denton's newest book certainly shows us The Lake District looking its very best. With its grand vistas demanding to be photographed in the panoramic format Mark brings it all together. |
