I do hope you enjoy issue 7 as much as I enjoy putting it together.  Again there are some excellent articles and I hope you might feel inspired to send in your writings for next issue which will be focusing on photography.  It would be interesting to hear what cameras people use on the fells or any techniques you can share.  We will be posting an online survey very soon asking for people to state which cameras they use.

Duddon & Furness MRTOn a final note, although I have already acnowledged them in print, I would like to thank Liz Lemal, Tracy Ward and Jill and Nigel Batchelor for proof-reading the journal.  Greatest thanks should go to Stephen Siddall, our shining knight in armour, who tirelessly prints the journal for the OFC.  If it wasn't for the efforts of Stephen the quality of the journal would be paltry and I am certain its success would be far less.


Ad altiora!  Thanks for your support.

The Revised Wainwright Guides - Useful?
Read more... There has been some interesting information on the message board recently about the newly revised Alfred Wainwright Pictorial guides to the Lake District.  AW never planned for the guides to be updated and figured they would gradually drop out of circulation.  However, under the auspices of Frances Lincoln, Chris Jesty has been passed the mantle to update the guides fondly cherished and used by many.....
 
The Fell Walker by Michael Wood

Read more...Michael Wood mailed me a while back to ask if I would write a review of his book for the OFC site.  The title seemed appropriate and although having little time to read for pleasure took up the offer to review the thriller.  I have to say I really enjoyed the book, probably due to my links with the fells and can heartily recommend it to anyone here.  If you would like the chance to win a copy of this book then please read on....
