Alfred Wainwright did not write about how to rescue lambs stuck in barbed wire fences, how to tell a search and rescue dog that despite all appearances you don t need to be rescued, and how to cross a bog that sucks you in to your knees. He did write about two hundred and fourteen fells in the Lake District.
