Book Synopsis I Hate the Lake District by : Charlie Gere
Download or read book I Hate the Lake District written by Charlie Gere and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An alternative view of the North West of England that delves into its stranger past. I Hate the Lake District offers a different vision of the rural environment from those found in much contemporary nature writing. Based on the author's trips around North West England, the book engages with nuclear power and nuclear war, slavery, imperialism, ghosts, love, God, cockroaches, and the sheer violence and contingency of “nature” itself—of which the human presence is merely a part. Each chapter starts with an account of a visit to a place in this remote part of England, the deep north, but digresses and wanders through multifarious themes and subjects. Among the sites Gere visits are the defunct nuclear power station at Sellafield, home of all British nuclear waste; Lake Coniston, where Donald Campbell died trying to break the water speed record; Hadrian's Wall, furthermost reach of the Roman Empire; the mysterious and deathly Morecambe Bay; sites of slavery in the North West; places where UFOs have been sighted, avant-garde artists created work, and Islamic terrorists trained; shantytowns where the navvies who built the railways lived with their families; and even the remains of Blobbyland in Morecambe. In I Hate the Lake District, Gere challenges the bourgeois pastoralism of popular nature writing and reveals the landscape of North West England as profoundly unnatural and strange.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no other area which has attracted the range of great writers, artists, thinkers, walkers and climbers as the Lake District. From William Wordsworth to Melvyn Bragg and Beatrix Potter to Chris Bonington, Cumbria's beautiful landscape has provided the inspiration to help men and women reach the pinnacle of their chosen fields. Lake District Icons takes a fresh look at these influential figures - including interviews and pictures with some of the area's best-known personalities - and shows how they have been affected by the lakes, mountains and fells around them. Using original photography and research it also throws a light on some of the area's unique features, such as Herdwick sheep and Kendal Mint Cake, to prove that there's nowhere like the Lake District.

Download or read book The Outlying Fells of Lakeland written by Alfred Wainwright and published by Frances Lincoln. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the legendary A. Wainwright's guide to his selection of 56 'foothills' in Lakeland, brilliantly revised and updated by Chris Jesty. The outings described here with typical eloquence and humour were chosen by Wainwright with a particular readership in mind: 'those walkers who, because of age or infirmity, must be content with milder expeditions on lesser fells.' This guide is packed with gems of outstanding beauty which you don't have to be super-fit to enjoy: Orrest Head, where Wainwright's love affair with the Lake District began; Scout Scar, 'a pleasure every step of the way'; Beacon Fell, 'the epitome of that appeals to fellwalkers'; and many, many others. All the walks fall within the boundaries of the National Park. In the second edition, the main routes are picked out in red for greater visibility, and parking information is given where possible.
