 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? |
 On one of my trips ‘north’ I had the good fortune to meet one of those people who to me represents the grassroots of the Cumbrian celebratory. Of course, amongst the climbing fraternity, Bill is famous as not only the son of Lakeland pioneer cragsman Jim Birkett, but also as a fine climber and author in his own right. In 2008 this book won best illustration and presentation and was runner-up 'Lakeland Book of the Year'... |

 Eric Robson was born in Southern Scotland and has lived for most of his life in Cumbria. For the latter part of his life he has owned a small farm near Wasdale and is most famous for his role as chairman of Gardeners' Question Time on BBC Radio 4. Over the last five years he has also chaired the Wainwright Society. This book examines his own life with quite amusing anecdotes of his experiences as a freelance broadcaster and documentary maker. |
