Easily
accessible from the popular bases of Grasmere and Ambleside, this area
offers stunning scenery and fantastic walking, from the 'small but
perfectly made' Loughrigg – ideal for a Sunday afternoon hike – to
eye-catching Helm Crag ('the Lion and the Lamb'), from the lofty heights
of Bowfell to the iconic Langdale Pikes. England's highest mountain,
Scafell Pike, is also included in this volume.
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 themselves,
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.
