Product Description
Product Description
Scattered across the Lake District National Park are hundreds of tarns and small pools waiting to be discovered by the unhurried fell-walker. With their small tent and immense enthusiasm, John and Anne Nuttall have investigated 'every little speck of blue' on the map in their efforts to compile these detailed mountain tarn walks of western Lakeland. From huge Devoke Water to the tiny Lang Tarn on the Heathwaite Fells, the authors reveal that every tarn is unique in its appeal and that the seasonal changes ensure that no two visits are ever the same. Each of the 42 walks is accompanied by a hand-drawn 1:25,000 scale route map, plus beautiful pen-line drawings and details on distances, ascents, starting points and precise routes, including historical and environmental snippets to tempt the reader further. This is the companion volume to "The Tarns of Lakeland, Volume 2: East".
About the Author
John and Anne Nuttall are the authors of the popular Mountains of England and Wales as well as nine other guidebooks. They also write a weekly column for the Manchester Evening News. In 280 walks they have explored most of North West England. They also write for various magazines about the mountainous areas of England and Wales. Anne was a member of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society but gave up pharmacy to concentrate on outdoor writing. John was formerly a Chartered Engineer and manager with ICL but now illustrates many books with his pen and ink drawings. Their books have won the 1993 and 1996 OWG/ COLA Award for Excellence (guidebook) and the 1997 Lakeland Book of the Year Award.

My discovery of the Lakeland Tarns,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tarns of Lakeland: West v. 1 (Cicerone Guide) (Paperback)
I found the theme of "The Tarns of Lakeland Vol.1:West" a refreshing change to your "normal" fell guide books. Don't get me wrong, I love the English Lake District and have my fair share of guide books including another (The Mountains of England and Wales Vol.2 England) by the authors of this book, John and Anne Nuttall. The idea of having the tarns of Lakeland as the main objective of a walk rather than the fells themselves appealed to me and I find the information and directions in the guide book are very well laid out and very easy to follow. As an added bonus, the pen and ink drawings by John Nuttall are a very welcome addition. Each walk is accompanied by a sketched map of the area at 1:25,000 scale and range from easy through to more strenuous walks. Also included are details such as the tarns visited, distance covered, height gained, a brief summary of the walk and a starting point including grid refrence. All in all a very good addition to my growing book collection and I'll definatley be buying the second book in the series, "Vol.2: East" in the very near future.
