All these extracts from the BFI are amazing. Thanks-much appreciated.

It has changed a bit. At the start of the film you can see Keswick in the distance from Ashness Bridge. Nowadays, the trees on the fellside have grown and you can only see the far left part of the town ;-).

Not changed a bit in 85 years, thanks to Beatrix Potter and The National Trust, are you sure this is not a remake?, that road looks pretty good !

[MrBillwordsworth]

I recon thats Castle Crag, a much easier way to get up there now, It's an old slate quarry strewn with spoil from by-gone days. Wainwright's smallest fell, love it.

[jacklyw]

lol, I like how they BBQ up a bird, ate it, all smoke a little bit, then let's go rock climbing!!! I'd do that anyday.

[MrBillwordsworth]

@jacklyw That's no bird, it's what we call a kipper, smoked fish, although it could be a flying fish ! , untipped cigaretes too.!

[MrBillwordsworth]

@jacklyw If this film is a remake it'll be a smoked trout from Seathwaite trout farm.

Wtf, color?

[rosieh101]

Wonderful footage of the Lake District. The colour is remarkable. Thank you for the useful notes about the film.
