W. R. Mitchell has had a sixty-year connection with the Lake
District. It started with his work for 'Cumbria' magazine and from
the 1950s he made innumerable trips to find out more about this
beautiful area and particularly its people. Using the maxim 'people
not places' passed down by Harry Scott, editor of the 'Cumbria' and
'Dalesman' magazines, Bill has carried out countless interviews
with a rich tapestry of Lakeland folk. This book reflects on some
of the most memorable meetings and reveals links with great names
of the area, such as William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter.
Lakeland folk can be set in their ways but have always been keen to
talk about a way of life that has changed appreciably with the
passing of time. Bill also remembers fondly the many outings of the
band of four intrepid walkers, including himself, known as the
'Geriatric Blunderers'. They climbed every mountain and forded
every stream of this most beautiful of areas. In 'Lake District
Folk' Bill makes a nostalgic walk on his own back through the
decades as he recollects some of the many wonderful experiences in
the Lakes.
