May 1931 marked Wainwright s second tour to the lakes, following his life changing visit a year previously. Though we have Wainwright s detailed itinerary, and we know that the poor weather that Witsun Holiday week made the 6 day trip a test of endurance, in other respects we have little to go on as Wainwright did not leave any detailed notes on the trip . What makes the tour particularly interesting, however, is that it covers every lake, mountain and valley in the area, thus making this a perfect itinerary for modern day followers in the great man s footsteps.Professional photographer Ed Geldard, who formed a strong friendship with Wainwright towards the end of his life, recreates the tour in remarkable detail giving a detailed breakdown of the route. The book is illustrated with over 180 magnificent full-color photographs that will delight both armchair walkers and those looking for a genuinely informative guide to walking in the Lakes. Wainwright aficionados will also delight in this missing page from the life story of the great man."
