On Saturday, September 13, enthusiasts will gather to celebrate the anniversary of Alfred Wainwright's memorable return to Haystacks in 1985. The event is being led by Chris Butterfield, Wainwright archivist, and Richard Else, the producer of the original BBC Wainwright TV series. Participants will be guided to the original filming locations around Innominate Tarn, where Mr Else will share personal memories from the day. Adding to the nostalgia, Mr Else will use the same camera he used to film Wainwright on Haystacks decades ago. The day will conclude with a joint talk by Mr Else and Mr Butterfield at the Glaramara Hotel in Borrowdale from 5pm to 7pm.
