Wainwright Walks - Coast to Coast

with Striding Edge cameraman Janusz Ostrowski

The new Julia Bradbury series, like the earlier ones, was shot by Striding Edge cameraman Janusz Ostrowski, who remembers his trip - Coast to Coast.

After fifteen years of filming in the Lake District I’m hard pushed to think of a peak or a pass that I haven’t struggled to the top of with a television camera on my back. So when I was offered a fourth series with Julia Bradbury, this time to film AW’s Coast to Coast it came as an exciting change.

The weather in September 2008 was consistently the wettest I’ve ever worked in, but despite the operational difficulties we had to endure, there was enough sunshine to show the route in all of its moods.

As Julia said, “We wouldn’t have stayed any drier if we’d been working on the beach in the Bahamas!”

Anyway, the pressures of a production budget don’t allow us to hang about for too long, so unless we’re forced to stand in six feet of water the show must go on.

As always I felt a great sense of achievement having got the gear to Kidsty Pike, the highest point on the route, and was rewarded with a break in the clouds and a clear view in almost every direction.

In some ways it was a different experience too. Being a long distance walk we often met other walkers more than once and so made friends along the way.

By the time we dipped our boots in the North Sea at Robin Hood’s Bay I was truly sorry it was time to go home.
