Watching this stirs my heart and soul. As a 'lass from Yorkshire,' I had the great good fortune to be born to a family who were avid cycling enthusiasts, running a Yorkshire club. My parents would cycle all over Yorkshire, the Dales and walked the Lake District. Father moved on it the world of motor engineering and so I came to travel with them, almost every weekend, across the Northern Dales and had many visits to "The Lakes" and the Fells mentioned here. This truly is a place of Heaven on Earth. Father called it "God's country" both AW and I know exactly the reason why. Great dedication by Alfred Wainwright - Marvellous coverage! Many thanks for this.

Great stuff and a vast improvement on later remakes. Any more where this came from?

I once read a book by a bloke with the same name,his wife left him after thirty years and he had nothing to do with his son.Made a packet and bought his single parent mother a radio as a thank you,,to end it all he wanted experiments to be carried out on prisoners instead of animals,who he left all his money to.It can't be the same person, looking at coast to coast I wouldn't want to do it, you'd end up with trench foot.Give me the Welsh valleys any day.
