Formerly called 'Fellranger guides', they have been fully revised and
modernised, and are now more compact yet no less useful in guidebooks
called Walking the Lake District Fells.
This guide describes ascents of 30 Lake District fells that can be
climbed from Keswick, the Whinlatter Pass, Bassenthwaite, Hesket
Newmarket, Mungrisdale and Threlkeld. The giants of the region Skiddaw
and Blencathra need little introduction, their myriad routes attracting
many a visitor and promising fantastic far-reaching views. The summits
to the north, however, are less frequented, offering probably the
closest experience to wilderness walking the Lakes has to offer, whereas
to the west, the Whinlatter group present a sylvan alternative.
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.
