Check out the low price and order here
This boxed set contains all seven of the Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells by the fell walking legend, A. Wainwright. For this Anniversary edition the pages were freshly reproduced from the original artwork and printed and bound to match the original books as closely as possible. Maps and text are as Wainwright wrote them. Since the guides were compiled half a century ago, they have been treasured by generations of walkers, and television programmes in the year of the centenary of Wainwright's birth introduced them to new enthusiasts. There were no guides like these before Wainwright devised them, and in the years since they were first published, they have never been matched. This boxed set of all seven books is the perfect gift for walkers and lovers of the Lakeland fells.

Scrambles in the Lake District - North: 90 Classic Routes (Cicerone British Mountains) (Paperback)
ISBN-13: 978-1852844639 |
Check out the low price and order here
This is the second of a two-volume set of guides to "Scrambles in the Lake District". The set are based on "Scrambles in the Lake District" and "More Scrambles in the Lake District", two of the original scrambling guides to the Lake District by one of Britain's best-known climbers. Continually reprinted for 20 years, these guides have now been fully updated and merged into two definitive guides, for southern and northern Lakes. The Lake District's rich mix of rocks, gills and crags offers the scrambler a complex variety of routes, often well removed from the beaten track. Scrambling - ascending rock that is not usually difficult or steep enough to warrant the term 'rock climbing' - means you often hardly touch a path and rarely see other people at close quarters. This is a way of getting back to a wilder Lakeland and enjoying the freedom of rough mountain country. It covers: Wasdale, Ennerdale and Buttermere, Borrowdale, Thirlmere, Patterdale, Mardale and Swindale; 110 scramble routes graded 1 to 4; advice on how to approach scrambling safely and with confidence; overview maps as well as sketch diagrams of the crags and routes; introductions to each area mentioned, indicating the type of rock and any recommendations; and information on the approach, character, grade and route of each scramble. Scrambles vol 1 ("Southern Lakes") covers Langdale, Coniston, Duddon, Eskdale, Longsleddale, and Kentmere.

The area covered includes most of the National Park and dips into quieter adjoining countryside. Visiting both renowned tourist spots and villages where two is a crowd even in high summer, the walks in this guide have the distinct advantage of including around forty of the region's best pubs in which the thirsty rambler can quench that well-earned thirst.

With a flavour of each of the main Lakeland valleys, and time to stop and wonder at their charms, the walk described in this book leads quickly away from the busy tourist centres to the quiet pleasures of the fell country.
