If only I had a few more thousand such critiques then perhaps we could all see the full works in print. Ah... one day, but I fear I am not getting any younger and keeping up the motivation to try to get the powers-that-be interested is not always easy. I will continue though for I am ever the optimist! Please pass the blogs details on to whoever might be interested and perhaps people power might win out and what about doing a bit of history research yourself, forward it to me and we can all feature in the final publication.

And what of the Tale of Two Inns in Romaldkirk? <br /><br />I wish you every success with this project - your writing style complements AW's very nicely, and doesn't jar my nostalgic sensibilities as some spin-off books have done!Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803707134433986479.post-22160651210951814022008-06-10T15:55:00.000+01:002008-06-10T15:55:00.000+01:00How good to see that someone shares my enthusiasm,...How good to see that someone shares my enthusiasm, all such comments can only help to get the idea taken seriously by potential publishers. Thanks again for your kind comments and I am indeed currently working on getting some contemporaneous details to add the extra, historical, angle to the "guide"Andrew Lamberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00183850738124890320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803707134433986479.post-81200076423888626302008-06-10T10:52:00.000+01:002008-06-10T10:52:00.000+01:00Hello Andrew. I have just recently discovered your...Hello Andrew. I have just recently discovered your blog on AW's Pennine Journey and have started reading through your Extract before progressing through your account of the route. I too read AW's book a few years ago and almost immediately thought it would be a great challenge to re-discover the original route and walk in AW's footsteps.<BR/><BR/>Alas, I live in the flat south and opportunities to spend some time in the hills are rare so the next best thing is to read about them in between the odd excursion to the Lakes. I see AW's Pictorial Guides as windows into the past, allowing us to see what he saw and to guage the changes to the environment over the decades. Your account of his journey to the Wall and back is exactly this.<BR/><BR/>Well done!! and good luck. I am looking forward to seeing the Wainwright Society's guide book and hope it has elements of history embedded such as yours otherwise it would be just another guide book.<BR/><BR/>I am always looking for AW written material for my fairly small collection and this blog is a fine addition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
