Wainwright’s meticulously hand-drawn maps, diagrams and drawings take
you 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.
The Western Fells,
Book Seven of Wainwright’s Walking Guide offers widely diverse scenery and popular resorts such
as Buttermere and Wasdale Head. They include fine peaks such as Pillar
and Great Gable that rise close to 3,000 feet. There is also the
fascinating Haystacks (where Wainwright asked that his ashes be
scattered) and valley and lake scenery of the very best vintage.
This new
edition has been comprehensively revised by writer and designer Clive
Hutchby, author of The Wainwright Companion. Paths, maps,
diagrams and route descriptions have been checked and corrected
throughout in this new portable, pocket-sized flexibound format that can
easily be packed and carried in a walker’s rucksack.
