Wainwright.... On Lakeland's Far Eastern Fells

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

After exploring the most easterly of the Lakes' summits in the mid-50s,
Wainwright declared: 'What joys have been mine that others should share!'
He shows Eric Robson some of the delights still to be discovered above
Haweswater - they enter the valley on the 'Old Corpse
Road' from Shap and survey its full extent at the summit of High Street. Wainwright recalls his first visit there more than 50 years ago to see Mardale before it was flooded and where now 'there's nothing left but ghosts'.
