Secret Wainwright

Available for over a year

In search of the man behind the best selling pictorial guides to the Lakeland fells. Beloved by armchair walkers, and Wainwright baggers alike, Andrew Carter discovers a remarkable man, who wore his genius lightly, hated being a celebrity, and did it all in the name of the animal charity he was involved with. Since the recording was made I’ve been made aware that Wainwright didn’t access Whernside by helicopter, it was actually Pen-y-ghent by foot. Photo - Peter Dunne
