Today's "Quick Note" is about a site that I've just launched about Alfred Wainwright and his Guides to the Lake District fells, the product of several decades of walking the high places of Lakeland.
At its heart it is very small, just a single page, although as time goes on its associated blog will build up more interesting content about both Wainwright himself and his Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells.
Today it is the core page that we're concerned with, listing most of his Lake District related works plus a number of biographical titles and a selection of DVDs. As for the Guides themselves we list reprints of the original editions for their 50th anniversary, and also the 2nd Revised Edition which updates details of the routes whilst keeping the basic format.
So here it is: WainwrightGuides.co.uk
You can buy single volumes or boxed sets (three different types of boxed set). I hope you enjoy it.

Threatened bird benefits from careful conservation
It was good to read today that the increasingly rare bird, the Ring Ouzel, is making something of a comeback on the North York Moors as a result of careful conservation work.
In a National Park that wants to attract more visitors it is not always easy to balance this with conservation work. As in so much of life when one objective clashes with another it takes a combination of skill and wisdom to achieve the requisite balance.
