A celebration of Britain's best-loved fell-walker.
On the Pennine Way. 'I'm glad it's finished,' was Wainwright's terse reaction to that 270-mile test of endurance between
Edale and Kirk Yetholm. Yet despite being his grumpiest book, the Pennine Way
Companion is considered indispensable by all who tackle the route. Some 20 years after its publication, he guided Eric Robson through the section from Wynch Bridge in Teesdale to the shoulder of the Pennines.
