‘…quite suddenly, we emerged from the shadows of the trees and were on a bare headland, and, as though a curtain had dramatically been torn aside, beheld a truly magnificent view.. This was truth.  God was in heaven that day and I a humble worshipper.’


Alfred Wainwright’s description of his first view of the Lakeland mountains, from Ex-Fellwandererer.  It was a view that transformed his life and the lives of tens of thousands of his readers.
