CHEZ-PHIL

I was lucky enough to come across this web site whilst planning a trip to Scotland. Personally, I'm not up to this type of mountain walking/climbing, so the next best thing is to enjoy the fine photography of somebody who is.

Alfred Wainright's
Pictorial Walking Guides



Originally compiled in the 1950s and early 1960s, the Wainwright walking guides are perhaps the most distinctive and unusual such guides ever devised. The result of painstaking and lengthy research by their namesake and author over a period of thirteen years, the guides have retained their original format and design to this day. The books contain intricate hand drawn sketches by the author, detailing routes of ascent, and gradients of the hills in and around the Lake District and outlying regions.
