If anyone knows what this clue is looking for I would be very grateful to know. I have combed my atlas to no avail . All the clues are Wainwrights but this has beat me and I'm afraid not a hiker.The clue is, On your way to Alston ( 4 - 4 ) letters .Many thanks in advance.

Eden Vale

Thank you for your reply and so quick, but why Eden Vale when Alston is the highest town in Cumbria .
there wasn't a reference to height in the clue?

Alston is Northern Fells I believe. Quite a few 4,4 s to choose from ?

Sorry if my answer sounded ungrateful I just wondered why a valley when it's location is a climb. I don't know if it is a Wainwright or not,but thanks anyway.
Question Author
Sorry emeritus too many options is my problem but thanks
Is it possible to work out any letters?
Question Author
I have just found your reply fiction factor thanks . No it is not a crossword clue it is a quiz clue.

Could you expand on 'all the clues are Wainwrights' please. Wainwrights what? (and I do know who AW was)

Could you also give an example of one that you have solved please.

Hi captain2 The whole quiz is just titled Wainwrights and cover all the books he wrote .Some answers like Maiden Moor ,or Red Screes etc. My original clue ,On your way to Alston 4-4 does not mean anything to me .Hope it does to you.
Think I agree with emeritus that it really could be many things, as a suggestion though what about Hart Side?

Hart Side is a fell in the English Lake District, being an outlier of the Helvellyn range in the Eastern Fells. The Ordnance Survey maps give the name to a broad saddle dropping from White Stones on Stybarrow Dodd, but Wainwright in his Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells gave the name to the lower top to the north of this depression. By his convention the entire ridge between the valleys of Deepdale and Glencoyne is known as Hart Side.
Tees Head?

Thanks both ,Whilst I live in Lakeland I don't know it very well so I am totally relying on you to put me right ,and hope l choose well.
