Product Description
Product Description
Lakeland Fellranger walking guide by Mark Richards covering 29 summits in the North-Western Fells of the Lake District, including a wide range of walks old and new, bounded by Borrowdale, Buttermere and Bassenthwaite, between Keswick in the east and Cockermouth in the west. Among the summits featured are captivating Catbells, mighty Grasmoor, Causey Pike, Grisedale Pike, Hindscarth and Robinson. 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 Western Fells. For each of the 29 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. This guide is the sixth 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.

Format:Paperback
Like the book which clearly conveys the author's love of the fells. Very much aimed at the walker who likes to make up their own routes over the fells and therefore perhaps not suitable for the casual walker who wants to be told exactly where to go.
If however you have the classic Wainwright guides to Lakeland, perhaps not all much point in buying any of this series as they will not not add significantly to your knowledge base.
Where it scores over the original Wainwrights is that the info is up to date and it uses extracts from Harvey's maps (which in my opinion are the best hillwalking maps available).
The photos are good and provide some different perspectives on the fells.

Great product, bought as a Christmas gift, received promptly and well packaged. Part of a series and my husband has been very happy with this addition. Well worth purchasing if you are a walker and love the lake district.
Format:Paperback
These guides have been improved immeasurably by the new publisher Cicerone Press. They show detailed knowledge of routes and have interesting background info on place names etc. The panoramas of the views surpass those of AW.Many good photos too. I don't think that in 2011 there are better guides to the Lakeland fells.
