Thank you Andy , for a different view on Yoke. I will have to try this way when I’m up in the Lakes next year. I like the idea of quiet walks taking time to look around at the views? Keep up the good work.
Thank you Celia, yes this is certainly a quiet route, not even covered in some guidebooks. It is steep and exposed in places but well worth a visit.
Regards,
Andy
Thank you Pam.
These sort of set backs delay the publication of the book but better to get it right before going to print as there is no second chance with that.
Thank you Andy your photos give me the opportunity to see the fells and the views from the places I would love to see but am not able. I cant wait for the book!!!!
Love your photographs which thoroughly deserved success in the competition. I’m sorry to read that your Mum passed away and you will need time to get back on track. We can all wait a little longer for Wainwrights in Colour.
Thank you Diane, yes I know what you mean, missing the fells myself at the moment, just putting the finishing touches to the book so sort of confined to barracks here.
Thanks Macca, yes, we are now taking a positive attitude to this turn of events but it certainly wasn’t something that I needed at this stage of the book.
My name is David Bradwell and on March 7thI ordered and paid for this publication, I also paid for postage and packing.
I haven’t received anything up to now and I was wondering if there is a problem?
Hi David, thank you for your comment. I did email you on 12th may to explain that we are currently shipping out the pre-orders as fast as we can and ask you to be patient. The situation is also explained here: http://andybeckartist.co.uk/wow-just-wow/
Proud of you Mr.B.
Love your complete dedication to every single aspect of your amazing 10 year project.
Can’t wait to come see another of your fascinating talks which are truly informative, full of captivating interest and of course your cheeky humour too.
So very proud of what you have achieved Andy and I admire your dedication and passion to the wainwright’s in colour project. The end result is a stunning beautiful book, a must have for lovers of Lakeland and art.
A much deserved win.
I was so overjoyed when I heard the news. I knew it would come in first place as there is no other book out there like it. This is a masterpiece.
Other books on Wainwright may be published in the future, but nothing will come close to this as a work of art, love and dedication.
Enjoy this fabulous moment Andy and Esther.
Congratulations Andy. We knew this project was something special from when we stumbled across it at Rheged. We had no idea how epic it would become for you, and are glad you a) had no idea either, and b) have the tenacity and family support to enable you to bring it to fulfillment. The awards and plaudits are fully deserved, and your determination to do this using local bookshops and mail order continues and honours the Wainwright legacy.
Many congratulations Andy, I have followed your glittering career for some time and, quite frankly, I am not surprised that you are the recipient of such a prestigious award. Your dedication to the task over such a long period of time is a testament to your strength of character. As a completely unbiased observer, it would appear to me to be a result of your fine NornIron upbringing and the discipline of serving with the ‘Regiment’ … I promised myself that I would not make any reference to Gibraltar ..! Anyway, I am led to believe that Santa has a copy of your book that may be delivered, via a not-too-hot chimney, to this address … The lovely lady from the Hedgehog bookshop in Penrith was so enthusiastic about you and the book that she would certainly be a wonderful PR person for you ..! I am sure that you are inundated with messages of congratulations for your magnificent achievement.
Thank you for the comments Colin.Yes, I think that the discipline that I gained from my service has helped in seeing the whole thing through. I am actually off to deliver more copies of the books to Hedgehog Bookshop this afternoon where the books have been selling rather well thanks to their enthusiasm.
Thanks for the detailed report from your trip to Blenheim Palace.
Hot off the heels of the Keswick Mountain Festival, it looks like it was yet another very successful event for you.
A year on, the book is still going from strength to strength. Congratulations Andy.
Thnaks Chris, yes it has been a very busy time and looks like the next few months are busy as well with talks and other shows. Still, these books don’t sell themselves 🙂
Great to hear that you met your targets Andy but sorry that the Countryfile team did not make more of your presence there. Really enjoyed your spots on Look North with Paul Mooney, and thought that you came across very well, eloquent and so knowledgeable. I was gutted to have missed you at the Hedgehog bookshop in Penrith where I bought my copy of The Wainwrights in Colour.
Hi Colin, Thank you for the comment. I am sure that the CF team had lots to do and see, it will be on TV on Sunday night (19th). yes, the piece on look North was a nice bonus, thank you for your kind comment.

Thanks so much , Andy ! Will watch for the new site.
Love your photographs which thoroughly deserved success in the competition. I’m sorry to read that your Mum passed away and you will need time to get back on track. We can all wait a little longer for Wainwrights in Colour.
Thank you Diane for your kind comments. All back on track now, catching up.
Well done, Andy. A great photo which makes me want to get back to the fells.
Thank you Diane, yes I know what you mean, missing the fells myself at the moment, just putting the finishing touches to the book so sort of confined to barracks here.
Love these photos, Andy. Your pictures are always lovely.
Thank you Marilyn
Glad you’ve got settled back into things Andy 🙂
Thank you Richard, it is good to be back at work but it may be some weeks before I am back on the fells as I need to catch up on 5 weeks of work.
Sometimes, an unwanted/unexpected change can be a change for the better. Good luck in your new home and business premises.
Thanks Macca, yes, we are now taking a positive attitude to this turn of events but it certainly wasn’t something that I needed at this stage of the book.
Looking forward to receiving my pre-paid copy of the book. The time scale seems to ever extending but I’m sure it will be worth it.
Hi Alan,
Yes, I can only apologise for the delay, some things have been just beyond my control. Trust me, the wait will be worth it.
My name is David Bradwell and on March 7thI ordered and paid for this publication, I also paid for postage and packing.
