Just south of Grange in the North Western Fells is an area, containing no high mountain, no lake, no famous tarn, but in the author's (Wainwright) humble submission, it encloses the loveliest square mile in Lakeland - the Jaws of Borrowdale.

Few from the 21 mile #ullswaterway yesterday. What a fantastic long(ish) distance walk this is. Well signposted and good paths. We stayed at the The Quiet Site - Glamping Camping and Holiday Park as our base camp which actually on the trail. I Would highly recommend both the walk and accommodation 👌

The Langdale photoshoot from 35 years ago, and the same scene today. Alfred Wainwright, Andrew Nichol and Ken Shepherd. Three friends simply enjoying each other's company in one of the most beautiful parts of the Lake District.

Yesterday, I was delighted to pick up the iconic 50-year-old Penyghent drawing by Wainwright, which has been given a lovely makeover by Youdells in Kendal. It is officially one of my favourite drawings.

Wainwright at Darwen (Jubilee) Tower, near his hometown of Blackburn. Photo courtesy of Richard Else, the producer of the original BBC Wainwright TV series. This photo was taken in 1990, just a few months before his passing.

Wainwright at his Kendal Green home, just three months before he passed away. This poignant photograph was taken by his close friend Sheila Richardson during an interview for Cumbria magazine. Sheila's article was published shortly after his death.

It's a glorious day at the Grasmere Lakeland Sports and Show with The Armitt: Museum, Gallery, Library. It's been great to mingle with so many Wainwright enthusiasts. If you are in the area, come and say hello 😊
