About the Author

Alfred Wainwright, author of the legendary Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells, was born in Blackburn in 1907. He left school at the age of thirteen for a job in the Borough Engineer's office. A holiday at the age of twenty-three kindled a life-long love affair with the Lake District. After moving to Kendal in 1941, he devoted every spare moment he had from then until 1966 to researching and compiling the original Pictorial Guides. For this labour of love he was awarded the MBE.

Further walking guides followed, along with volumes of sketches of the landscapes that meant so much to him. A Coast to Coast Walk, first published in 1973, was the last of his trademark pocket-size Pictorial Guides.

A Wainwright died in 1991, aged eighty-four.

The revisions to this new edition of a Coast to Coast Walk have been undertaken by Chris Jesty, who assisted Wainwright with the maps on his last two large-format books. Chris trained as a cartographer with the Ordnance Survey, and Wainwright himself said, not long before he died, that if ever his guides were to be revised, Chris Jesty should be given the job. The second edition of Wainwright's seven Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells, revised by Chris Jesty throughout, has been much praised.
