The Great Outdoors Spring 2019

“In many ways, CRoW doesn’t go nearly far enough. Because, while
walkers can consider themselves part of the chosen people, there are
plenty of outdoor enthusiasts who have been largely ignored.”
Ed douglas
The Great Outdoors, August 2004

The Wainwright Society has
announced it is to publish out-of-
print titles by renowned British
fellwalker, guidebook author and
illustrator Alfred Wainwright. The
deal has come to fruition following
an agreement with the Wainright
Estate, allowing the Society to
become publishers of the titles.
The irst title to be re-published
will be A Pennine Journey, which it
is hoped will be available by late
spring 2019. The book will include
extra material produced by
Wainwright at the time it was written
in 1938. Many outdoor lovers will
be unaware of this material, and
the Society hopes its inclusion
may help to attract new (and old)
readers to this latest edition.
The republication of A Pennine
Journey will be followed at a later date
by The Outlying Fells of Lakeland.
The aims in republishing these
titles are to keep the books in print as
well as meeting one of the principal
objectives of the Society: “To keep
alive the fellwalking traditions
promoted by AW through his
guidebooks and other publications.”
