Book description
Lakeland Fellranger walking guidebook by Mark Richards covering 35
summits in the Near Eastern Fells of the English Lake District,
including a variety of walks, old and new, in the mighty range of hills
that sit between Ambleside, Ullswater and Grasmere. The area is flanked
to the west by Grasmere, Dunmail Raise and Thirlmere, and to the east by
Kirkstone Pass, Patterdale and Ullswater. Author Mark Richards combines
his passion for the Lake District and artistic flair with all the
information the experienced walker needs to explore and enjoy the
Mid-Western Fells. For each of the hills covered, this guide offers a
dedicated chapter, with full descriptions of a range of new and old
routes, full-colour Harvey maps and clear elevation diagrams, detailed
summit panoramas and lots of inspiring photographs. It is one of the
first two to be published in Cicerone's 8-volume Lakeland Fellranger
series, which provides a comprehensive new guide to the fells of the
English Lake District, with a selection of new routes up more than 230
hills. Mark Richards moved to Cumbria in the early 1990s. Here he
developed a passion for the finest of all walking landscapes, held
within and around this marvellous county. Mark is well known for his
guides to the Peak District and Hadrian's Wall. He is a founder of the
Hadrian's Wall Trust, a member of the Outdoor Writers and Photographers
Guild and broadcasts on BBC Radio Cumbria.
