Just come across an AW book which I have never heard of before. It's a small paperback I've just bought from a charity shop, called " Seven Favourite Fellwalks", published by Michael Joseph in 1992. Mine is a 1995 edition.
Anyone know anything about this publication?

I believe it was a freebie given to Rohan customers. A friend of mine somehow managed to end up with two copies so gave me one.
I'd completely forgotten that I also had "Old Roads of Eastern Lakeland"

Not sure about Rohan, but I definitely remember seeing it being given as a freebie if you bought the "K shoes" Wainwright edition walking boots in the Kendal K outlet shop in the nineties (?).
There's nothing new in it - but it's a quirky collector's item.
Cheers, Al.

Thanks for all the comments and observations,
It does have one walk from each PG. I have now found a few copies on Amazon for next to nothing so my £2.50 was about right,
No Don, I can't afford to retire again on it's value ;D

Lindsay This was the comment from "The Oracle" i.e Miss Dereham who was AW's editor and Director at Michael Josph. From what I can remember, it was a promotional paperback we produced specifically for a company or magazine. It was never an official publication but would certainly be a collector’s item.John  |
