 Cicerone books have just published a new and inspirational book which, as Chris Bonnington states, 'is reflecting an exuberant affection for, and pleasure in, the exploration of the Cumbrian Fells.' The new book is Great Mountain Days in the Lake District and has been written by the Alfred Wainwright devotee Mark Richards. If you would like to receive 15% off the price of this book and free P&P then read on... |

 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! |
