Although already in love with the lakeland fells, his writing was a brief escape from day to day life. Rest in peace Harry.
Like many others I read Harry's books after visiting the lake district as a youngster.

His books are what led me to love and continue to retun to the lakes time and time again. Keep watch on the Lakes Harry, someone needs too....
