‘Ridges, in general, provide the best fellwalking in Lakeland … The narrower the ridge, the greater the enjoyment. Ridgewalking is fellwalking at its best.’

It amuses me to see all the articles and treatises and even books written on the subject of walking on the fells. Goodness me, if a person needs a manual of instruction on walking he should stay at home. Walking is one of the first things we learn. Our mothers taught us, remember? We do it all our lives.’

'Surely there is no other place in this whole wonderful world quite like Lakeland ... no other so exquisitely lovely, no other so charming, no other that calls so insistently across a gulf of distance. All who truly love Lakeland are exiles away from it.'

‘Whenever I have a choice between a steep path and an easy one I prefer the latter, and if it takes me on a roundabout course and is longer in distance so much the better: less effort will be entailed and more will be seen on the way.’
Fellwalking with Wainwright p. 87
