Alfred Wainwright MBE is a local legend and known the world-over for his extensive knowledge of the Lake District fells … so-much-so, that his series of seven volumes of Lakeland walks adds up to a whopping 214 Lakeland fells, and have become a ‘must-do’ list for many visiting and living in the Lakes.
