Wainwright on your iPod

Interesting item in today's Guardian on the availability of a podcast of Wainwright guiding walkers up Helm Crag. The podcast has been devised by the Tourist Board to help visitors stay on the right path while winter walking on one of Wainwrights favourite hills – Helm Crag, Grasmere, better known as the Lion and the Lamb.

"It creates the effect that the late, pipe-smoking fell wanderer himself is guiding you on one of his favourite Lake District walks - with his craggy voice giving the instructions through your earphones as you walk over 1,100ft into the stunning scenery high above the pretty Lake District village."

The selections from Wainwright's wry notes to his maps of 1,000ft Helm Crag are read by the actor who voiced Wainwright's voice on the recent BBC TV series on Wainwright's life and favourite walks: Nik Wood-Jones. You can find the podcast here.
