Discovering the waymarker trees discretely immersed within the cartographic and documented details of the unique fellwalking guides written and illustrated by Lakeland's most renowned fellwalker, Alfred AW Wainwright. Produced throughout the 1950/60/70s, each 'Wainwright' defined the fell paths to Lakeland's summits, along with so much more ... including minute individual icons and symbols denoting waymarker trees, that provide fail-safe place-locators to walkers in all weathers. The waymarker trees have, until now, been largely unnamed and unknown ... and are revealed today as epic wild-growing path-markers, still standing after many decades. Most are resplendent, some are declining and a few are dead - but all are magnificent, with a biological background that can be interpreted. Taking a botanical perspective, this book describes the walks and, most importantly, the waymarker trees - commenting on their lives and survival in the upland landscapes of the English Lake District.
