Online Fellwalking Club - Home
OFC - Online Fellwalking Club, A walk out with my brother Paul and James Hoye of the OFC. This was a longer route than anticipated after James suggested the ascent. The route ascended from Rydal church via Nab Scar, Heron Pike and Great Rigg. We had fun at the summit brewing tea and taking photographs of Peter's new map, 'Tubular Fells'. It will also be memorable as the first major ascent after our father's death - the short associated video is a tribute to him., "Withnail and I?", I wondered as I perused the shelves of a DVD and CD store in Cambridge. An accompanying friend said, "Buy it, you'll enjoy it." And so it was that this DVD stood, unwatched on the shelf for half a year until last night. I had already found that the film was set in Wet Sleddale and so I watched it this week. Set in the dying months of the 1960s, wondrous shots of uncongested motorways, hilarious dialogues and with a Lakeland setting to boot I couldn't go wrong. Having watched this piece of iconic film it then got me wondering at how many other films are set in the Lakes. Perhaps with some suggestions, this article can grow over time so please do read on and write in with your ideas...., Whether it's a hike across the high fells or a lakeside ramble you enjoy most, let Lakeland Walker Britain's oldest and best-selling Lake District walking magazine guide you along the way.
