with Eric Robson
1: The Far North
Wainwright's beautifully detailed hand-written guides to the Lake District have now sold over a million copies and have made their sometimes irascible author an unlikely hero. But 'AW' - as he's known to his tiny circle of friends - has also looked beyond the splendours of his own doorstep and for the last 40 years he's spent every holiday north of the border exploring the remote landscape of Scotland.
Tonight he re-creates those journeys, beginning with the unique, 'lunar' landscape of Sutherland.
