Fir Tree`s ” The Wainwright Fells of the Lake District” map presents a panoramic view of the Lake District with all the 214 Wainwright fells numbered & colour-coded to correspond to the seven volumes of Alfred Wainwright`s classic series of pictorial guides. A list below the map shows each Wainwright fell with its altitude in feet & metres, plus a space for the users to enter the date of reaching its summit. ...

Alfred Wainwright, the legendary fell walker & author of the incomparable & unique Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells was also a fluent, eloquent & diligent correspondent. Writing to old friends & to the many new ones gained through his books, & to his love, & later second wife, Betty, his letters display a much warmer, more sensitive & emotional character than his gruff popular image would suggest. Hunter Davies, Wainwright's biographer, has here collected a selection of letters that range from his early years in Blackburn to his established position as Borough Treasurer in Kendal, & cover all aspects of his professional & personal life, as well as the voluminous correspondence that was a consequence of writing & publishing the Pictorial Guides. The latter vividly illuminate many aspects of that turbulent but ultimately triumphant process, while the former present a picture of a dedicated public servant whose personal life had been deeply unhappy until late in life he found unexpected but transcendent love & happiness. In turn business-like & comic, wonderfully well informed & remarkably innocent, deeply moving & yet tough-minded, the letters present a vivid & unforgettable picture of one of the great but eccentric creative geniuses of the twentieth century. ...

The Wainwrights Pocket Log is a very small & classy note book which has been customised for Lakeland Fell-Walkers. The texture of the cover & the gold trimmings give it a stylish retro feel. The contents are in black & white, with the fells arranged alphabetically within the seven sections of the 214 Wainwrights. Its size is its charm but also its advantage. Full size log books expect a lot more to be written than is helpful to most people, take up space & can`t be easily carried. Wall charts don`t allow for notes & aren`t mobile either. Smartphone apps are efficient but, well, we don`t think AW would have approved... So this is it! All you need to carry with you for the next week/year/retirement. ...

In ” The Waiting Land” (first published in 1967) Dervla Murphy affectionately portrays the people of Nepal`s different tribes, the customs of an ancient, complex civilization & the country`s natural grandeur & beauty. This is the third of Dervla Murphy`s early travel books: an exploration of Nepal by a feisty, generous-hearted young Irish woman. Yet it can also be seen as the completion of a trilogy of books concerned with her experience of self- sufficient mountain cultures, first tasted in crossing Persia & Afghanistan in ” Full Tilt”, & deepened with her experience of working with Tibetan refugees in the frontiers of Northern India, as told in ” Tibetan Foothold”. Having settled in a village in the Pokhara Valley to work at a Tibetan refugee camp, she makes her home in a tiny, vermin-infested room over a stall in the bazaar. In diary form, she describes her various journeys by air, by bicycle & on foot into the remote & mountainous Lantang region on the border of Tibet. Murphy`s charm & sensitivity as a writer & traveller reveal not only the vitality of an age-old civilization facing the challenge of Westernisation, but the wonder & excitement of her own remarkable adventures. ...
