Did Wainwright enter his temporary residence through this open door ?
he departed for the �inal time . My thoughts then turned to some of Wainwright ’ s comments in ‘ Some Personal Notes in Conclusion ’ at the end of book two , The Far Eastern Fells . He had gracefully declined all the offers of hospitality and transport and was pigheaded enough to want to do it without help . Wainwright had written that almost a decade before he ventured into the Western Fells , and maybe it was too early to think about any potential problems ahead .
Thanks to Roger for his company and kind hospitality in Loweswater . His knowledge of the district helped me tie this story ’ s strands together . Finally , a special thanks to Sheila Richardson , a friend of Wainwright who has been a vital source of information . She has kindly shared many Wainwright-related stories over the years , which I am truly grateful for . Sheila was also featured in the Coast to Coast Walk story in my recently published book Wainwright Memories .
