Country Walking

When I was asked if I would like to do a series about Alfred Wainwright and his Lake District Walks I jumped at the chance

Yet halfway through the first day's filming I really wondered if I had taken on too much as I struggled up a steep hillside.

Then I stopped and sat down by a mountain stream and a feeling of pleasure flowed round my body. It was as if the clear water was imparting a new life into my tired muscles. I just sat there and stared out over the distant fells with the cloudes drifting over my head and knew that I was somewhere very special.

If I can climb the Lake District fells then you can. Go on and suprise yourself.
