“I will sign off by wishing all my readers many more happy wanderings on Lakeland’s glorious fells in the years ahead, and hoping that, when they are there, they will think kindly of me sometimes.”
A Wainwright, Ex-Fellwanderer, final page, 1987
In keeping with his wishes, Betty scattered Wainwright's ashes by Innominate Tarn on Haystacks, his favourite mountain. This is an unashamedly emotional song that speaks of his final resting place and love of the Lakes.
lyrics
On this splendid mountain
by this namelss tarn
It's here that my spirit roams free
A life of devotion to the mountains I love
As you pass by think kindly of me
