Express your love of the Lake District with this eye-catching design mapping the region’s mountains and lakes in a way you’ve never seen before.

Alfred Wainwright was famously a man of few words. But it’s probably reasonable to assume the 214 words we’ve artfully arranged on this new T-shirt were among his favourites.

We wanted to produce a T-shirt with an original design based around the Lake District that would appeal to hill walkers, climbers and casual fans alike. After much racking of brains we came up with the idea of ‘mapping’ the region using the names of its signature landmarks – the lakes and mountains.

In a homage to the famous guidebook author, we’ve taken the names of all 214 hills considered the core Wainwright mountains, plus 11 of the biggest lakes, and arranged them to produce an eye-catching, intricate word map of the Lake District.

Perfect for the Lake District-lover in your life, it’s guaranteed to spark conversations with other Lakeland-obsessives and make the wearer the envy of fellow walkers in the Wasdale Head Inn.

The T-shirts are now in stock and selling like hot cakes, so head to the BMC online shop now to get yours.

Printed on 100% organic ring-spun combined cotton round neck t-shirt. - available in men's and women's fit. A snip at £20 for non-members and £15 for members.
