You can't miss this one - 'The way to Orrest Head is announced by a large
signboard....' AW
Connie, aged 3, fulfils the AW prophecy; 'Orrest Head for many of
us, is "where we came in" - our first ascent in Lakeland, our first sight of
mountains in tumultuous array across glittering waters, our awakening to
beauty.'
