Al had sustained a severe injury to his ankle as well as a number of head injuries, and was airlifted to West Cumberland Hospital for initial surgery on his ankle.

 "Withnail and I?", I wondered as I perused the shelves of a DVD and CD store in Cambridge. An accompanying friend said, "Buy it, you'll enjoy it." And so it was that this DVD stood, unwatched on the shelf for half a year until last night. I had already found that the film was set in Wet Sleddale and so I watched it this week. Set in the dying months of the 1960s, wondrous shots of uncongested motorways, hilarious dialogues and with a Lakeland setting to boot I couldn't go wrong. Having watched this piece of iconic film it then got me wondering at how many other films are set in the Lakes. Perhaps with some suggestions, this article can grow over time so please do read on and write in with your ideas.... |

 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. |

"I love the Lake District. Went for first time 20 months ago. OFC website is the best thing I've found, along with all the members' sites. My kids at school log on every morning as well." Sue Sullivan
