This guide describes ascents of 28 Lake District fells that can be
climbed from Borrowdale and the Newlands and Thirlmere valleys,
including Catbells, a perennial favourite, and the mighty Scafell Pike,
Great End and Great Gable.
Easily accessed from Keswick, Borrowdale is a
valley of exquisite natural beauty, with the lower wooded and
heather-clad slopes giving way to sweeping moors and craggy heights.
With such great variety within so small a vicinity, the fellwalker is
spoilt for choice.
Unlike other guidebooks which describe a single or limited number of
routes to a particular destination, the aim of the Walking the Lake
District Fells series is to offer all the options. These are presented
as numbered sections which can be combined to create infinite
possibilities - from simple ascents to longer ridge routes. You'll find
the classics and popular routes alongside less traditional alternatives
perfect for the wandering spirit.
The series gives you both the freedom
to devise your own routes and the information to make informed
decisions, thanks to the clear descriptions of the routes, terrain,
hazards, interesting features and safe descent paths should the weather
close in. Also included are a handful of classic ridge routes for longer
fell days.
Mark Richards' inimitable text is complemented by HARVEY mapping and
the author's own beautiful sketch topos and panoramas. Perfect for keen
hillwalkers and peak-baggers alike and ideal both for pre-planning and
use on the hill, Walking the Lake District Fells is the new incarnation
of the Fellranger series, which sees the volumes updated and trimmed to a
more practical size.
These true connoisseurs' guides are sure to
inspire you to get out and explore the beautiful fells of Lakeland.
