Book description
Lakeland Fellranger guidebook by Mark Richards covering 28 summits in
the Central Fells of the Lake District, including a variety of walks,
scrambles and ascents, old and new, in the high ground of the Lakes
between Great Langdale and Keswick. The area is flanked to the west by
Stake Pass, Langstrath, Borrowdale and Derwentwater, and to the east by
Grasmere, Dunmail Raise and Thirlmere. 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. 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.
