BONUS PART 1: A DELIGHTFUL WEEKEND IN THE COUNTRY - Alice treks up to Crow Crag and meets the real life Uncle Monty
We're friends of Montague Withnail's.
In a moment of drunken sincerity Alice agreed to travel up to the Lake District (in all this beastly oomska) to visit the famous landmarks from the film - the 'I'm gonna be a star' reservoir, the 'lick 10 percent of the arses' telephone box, the 'I want something's flesh' creek and the 'shut tha' gate - before descending on the actual cottage for a screening!
In Part One of these two special bonus episodes of the Withnail & Us Podcast Alice tells all about her trip into Withnail country and the screening of the film at the original cottage! Roger discovers just how difficult the locations are to get to, how Alice and friends risked their lives for just the right photo and what happened on top of the windy hill of Crow Crag at 2am after very little sleep and a LOT of sherry...
PLUS - includes an extra special interview with architect Tim Ellis, the owner of the cottage or Sleddale Hall, to talk about how he has got the building up and running again, whether he is still a fan of the film and if those are the kind of windows that faces really do look in at. Thank you 'Uncle Tim' for a really insightful interview into Crow Crag and it's incredible legacy.
Alice attended Uncle Monty's Summer Soiree, a screening event held at the original Crow Crag location near Penrith, by Eden Arts/Picnic Cinema, look out for the 2024 event if you are interested. Sleddale Hall is owned by Tim Ellis and is a private residence so please be respectful if you are in the area.
Look out for Bonus Part 2, Roger and Alice discuss the event and locations further, with two fellow Withnail tourists (who are also not from London).
