Fell Map of the 214 Wainwrights

THE days are short but getting longer and if like me you are already counting down to your next sortie to Cumbria this piece will definitely catch your fancy!

While doing some research into Fix the Fells I came across a fundraising effort from Ian Shackleton. He produces a really high quality poster that shows all 214 Wainwright peaks along with tarns, lakes, roads and youth hostels. 

The summits are neatly colour coded to match the infamous pictorial guides and listed in altitude order all on a beautifully presented poster. This map sits wonderfully on the wall and once framed it makes a lovely feature in any setting. 

The man behind the creation of this map is Ian Shackleton, who has admired Wainwright for many years.

A close up of the Coniston area shows the
intricate beauty of this work.

"This map is dedicated to my father, Howard Shackleton who introduced me to the Lakeland Fells some 45 years ago. The map has taken over 400 hours to complete. Like Wainwright's Guides, it has been a labour of love. It is designed to be a piece of art, pleasing to the eye and something which people would be proud to hang on their walls. Every fell and every tarn are accurate in terms of Grid Reference. It can be used to plan future routes, familiarise yourself with the proximity of the fells and tarns or simply to reminisce about days spent on the fells."

    

Of every A1 map sold at least £1 will be put to Fix the Fells and at only £14.99 plus P+P this work of art will hardly break the bank. We’ve had ours up as pictured now for about two months and it still grabs our attention so I definitely recommend it.

Not only will it look good, not only will it be useful, not only will you stand reminiscing in front of it, you’ll be giving a little back to the fells we all know and love. I now whole-hearted urge you to head to Ian’s site here http://www.wainwrightfellsmap.co.uk/the-map/ and get your sen a copy!

Cheers
