Английская Википедия:A. Harry Griffin
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:About Шаблон:Use dmy dates Arthur Harry Griffin (15 January 1911 – 9 July 2004) was a British journalist and mountaineer. He is particularly remembered for his evocative recording, in his writing, of rock-climbing in the Lake District in the inter-war years, especially a group called 'The Coniston Tigers'; for his long-running 'Lakeland Diary' column in The Guardian (spanning a period of 53 years); and for having inspired, via these columns, and an article in the Lancashire Evening Post, the rebirth of interest in the Bob Graham Round.[1]
Fuller details of his life, including his wartime service as an intelligence officer, may be found in the Guardian obituary.[2] He was friends with Alfred Wainwright but somewhat disapproved of the damage to the fells that the popularity of Wainwright's guides could cause.[3]
