Wainwright's Way is a journey on foot through Wainwright's life from Lancashire to the Lakes. This walking guide charts a 126-mile long-distance route linking the place where Wainwright was born
- a Victorian terraced house in Audley Range Blackburn
- with his final resting place on Haystacks his heavenly corner of Lakel&. Along the way the walk split into ten day stages literally follows in the footsteps of Wainwright at work linking the sights he sketched & wrote about in a succession of Lancashire guides: A Ribble Sketchbook A Bowland Sketchbook & A Lune Sketchbook. Continuing northwards the walk arrives in the county Wainwright knew best as celebrated in his books Westmorland Heritage & Three Westmorland Rivers. Spending time in Kendal where Wainwright lived for 50 years the route stops to enjoy a unique circular town walk linking all the places associated with AW
- from the Museum & Library to the Town Hall where he worked to his two residences at Castle Grove & Kendal Green. From here the walker enters Wainwright's 'earthly paradise' & takes a meandering course across Lakeland from Kendal to Buttermere through the territory made so familiar by AW's intimate Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells. The route visits some of the lesser known valleys passes & peaks recorded in The Far Eastern Eastern Central & Western Fells guides & stops in Borrowdale one of Wainwright's favourite valleys taking in a section of his Coast to Coast Walk along the way. The climax of the walk follows the final journey of Wainwright himself as his ashes were carried onto Haystacks from Honister Pass to be scattered by the side of Innominate Tarn. From here the walker drops down to the shores of Buttermere & visits the final memorial to Wainwright
- the window on to the fells in the tiny roadside church of St. James. It is a fitting end to both a memorable walk completed
- & a memorable life fulfilled. Much more than a route guide this book uncovers the history landscape & characters of many of the places sketched by Wainwright. It is a walk through some of the most spectacular scenery in the North of England
- including a surprising Lancashire a county of dramatic river valleys high moors & lonely woodland cloughs. This trek unites the two contrasting lives of the master fell walker
- his industrial Lancashire life & his Lakeland life. It takes in paths on the edge of mill town Blackburn that Wainwright is known to have walked along himself during his youthful sojourns into the Lancashire countryside.

Warren Buffett compares stock trading to great athletes: they excel not because of fast neurological responses but because of their ability to delay as long as possible before reacting. Successful CEOs fire fighters & military officers all know how to manage delay to gather as much information as possible to get the results they need. In Wait Frank Partnoy argues that decisions of all kinds whether snap or long-term benefit from being made at the last possible moment. The art of knowing how long you can afford to delay before committing is at the heart of many a great decision whether in a corporate takeover or a marriage proposal. Apologies are better received if they are not rushed; audiences listen more attentively if speakers pause first people who can defer gratification are happier & more successful than those who must have everything now. Exploring decisions that must be made in a millisecond to those that take months & years Partnoy demonstrates that the ability to wait is crucial to getting the right answer & that gut instincts are often wrong. ...

Deborah Devonshire is a natural writer with a knack for the telling phrase & for hitting the nail on the head. She tells the story of her upbringing lovingly & wittily describing her parents (so memorably fictionalised by her sister Nancy); she talks candidly about her brother & sisters & their politics (while not being at all political herself) finally setting the record straight. Throughout the book she writes brilliantly about the country & her deep attachment to it & those who live & work in it. As Duchess of Devonshire Debo played an active role in restoring & overseeing the day-to-day running of the family houses & gardens & in developing commercial enterprises at Chatsworth. She tells poignantly of the deaths of three of her children as well as her husbands battle with alcohol addiction. Wait For Me is enthralling & a total joy full of the authors sympathetic wit (which she is not afraid to use on herself). ...
