Fell walking DVDs

The videos that started my interest in fell walking in the Lake District, and has probably increased general interest, are the series of DVDs by Julia Bradbury produced in 2007 and 2008. These presented a selection of 10 walks taken from Alfred Wainwright's Pictorial Guides of the Lake District. They are high quality BBC productions which include aerial shots to give an overview of the walks. Julia Bradbury's enthusiasm for Wainwright and the fells is infectious.
She also did a program of the Coast to Coast in 2009 which is equally enjoyable. (For walks elsewhere in Britain she has a series on Canal Walks and one on Railway Walks - i.e., abandoned railway routes.)
And one of the most experienced Lakeland walkers, David Powell-Thompson, is featured in a number of DVDs on various fells. The DVDs available are, Lakeland Walks with David Powell-Thompson: Castle Crag, Helvellyn, Scafell and High Street; The Lake District, Great Langdale with David Powell-Thompson and The Lake District, Upper Eskdale with David Powell-Thompson.

Some of the videos noted above are available from the Acorn TV streaming service.

Some recommended DVDs I have yet to see are:
Wainwright's Lakeland & England's North Country by Alfred Wainwright and Eric Robson
Wainwright's Coast to Coast by Alfred Wainwright and Eric Robson
Wainwright's Highlands and Islands of Scotland by Alfred Wainwright and Eric Robson
Life of a Mountain: Scafell Pike, Life of a Mountain: Blencathra and The Lake District - Helvellyn with Mark Richards by Terry Abraham
(All of the above DVDs are available from AmazonUK).

Fell walking books and guides

The premier fell walking books for the Lake District are, of course, Alfred Wainwright's Pictorial Guides, published by Frances Lincoln Press. I have the boxed set of the Lakeland fells including the outlying fells, 2nd edition updated by Chris Jesty.
Wainwright also wrote guides for the Coast to Coast walk, the Pennine Way, and Scotland, as well as walks in Limestone country in Yorkshire. Most of these are now available in the updated 3rd edition by Clive Hutchby, reflecting changes in paths and landmarks throughout the walks. There are many other Wainwright books available including notebooks and memoirs.
Another handy guide for the Coast to Coast walker is the Bed and Breakfast Accommodation Guide by Doreen Whitehead (known popularly as the Queen of the Coast to Coast Walk), now in its 15th edition.
Another necessity for the fell walker is the OS (Ordnance Survey) maps which provide the needed detail and scope not available in Wainwright's guides. OS maps OL4, OL5, OL6 & OL7 cover the Lake District walks in Wainwright's guides.
