The new hardback guide to Ullswater by Colin Hindle is a real love affair with this beautiful area. All hand written and with Colin's own pen and ink drawings this is the most intimate book on the Lakes since Wainwright put down his pen.
Colin lives in Pooley Bridge and it has taken him five years to walk, write and draw the contents of this fantastic book. Five years very well spent.
If you love Ullswater and the surrounding area this is a different style of guide book, with more than a nod to Wainwright, but also full of history and context and Colin's own thoughts and memories.
Use it as a guide book to choose and navigate your walks, but also at home to savour the drawings and history of the best part of the Lake District.
“The best illustrated and most artistic guide to Lakeland I have read since the Blessed Wainwright gave up his pen…." Hunter Davies ( Wainwright's official biographer )
The world class views in this book have been found on lake shores, on roadsides, on footpaths, in woodland, on the fell tops and in intimate scenes where man and the elements have interacted for millennia. The fells are amazing; you give your effort once and they repay you with memories that last a lifetime. Every drawing in this book stirs the mind's eye and takes me back to who I was with and when. This book hopes to achieve two things; the first to be beautiful in its own right, the second to encourage the reader to explore and savour the world class scenery in this corner of the Lake District.
