Alfred Wainwright

    Alfred Wainwright était un cartographe et auteur autodidacte dont le profond amour pour le Lake District a alimenté son œuvre. Ses guides sont réputés pour leurs cartes méticuleusement dessinées à la main et leurs observations détaillées, nées d'innombrables heures passées à parcourir les fell. Les écrits de Wainwright sont plus que de simples outils de navigation ; ce sont des témoignages sincères de la beauté et de la solitude des montagnes. Son style artistique unique et sa connexion intime avec le paysage offrent aux lecteurs une profonde appréciation du monde naturel.

      First published in 1973, A. Wainwright's Coast to Coast is the most authoritative and useful guide to one of the world’s most beautiful walks. It covers rights of way and areas of open access between the Irish Sea and the North Sea and passes through three of Great Britain’s National the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, and the North Yorkshire Moors, all areas of outstanding beauty. Providing a wide and varied range of scenery with changing landscapes over a distance of 190 miles, it is one of the most challenging and rewarding of long-distance walks. This new edition has been updated to reflect minor changes in the terrain, and many of the original photographs, taken by Derry Brabbs and first published in 1987, have been retaken by the legendary lakeland photographer. The result is the transformation of a superb guidebook into one that is truly sublime.
