Wainwright’s meticulously hand-drawn maps, diagrams and drawings take
walkers up the 214 principal hills and mountains of the Lake District,
describing the main routes of ascent from different starting points, as
well as lesser-known variants, showing the summit viewpoint panoramas
and the ridge routes that can be made to create longer walks.
Every page
combines words and illustrations to present the routes in a way that is
original, visually appealing and easy to follow. This new edition of
Wainwright’s Walking Guide to the Lake District Fells has been
comprehensively revised. Paths, maps, diagrams and route descriptions
have been checked and corrected throughout.
These revisions have been
undertaken by writer and designer Clive Hutchby, author of The
Wainwright Companion. The Southern Fells, Book Four of Wainwright’s
Walking Guide, covers the great mountain systems of Scafell–Bowfell and
the Coniston fells and includes some of Wainwright’s own favourite
ascents, such as Scafell Pike, Bowfell and Crinkle Crags.
