5.0 out of 5 stars Worthwhile even for Purists 9 Jan 2012
By W. Stevenson
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I use these as the 'field copy' while keeping The Bible clean on the shelf. It is interesting to see how litle has changed- which is not to diminish the amount of work that Chris Jesty has put into revising the minor details on the maps and diagrams.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Pictorial Guides To The Lakeland Fells - Complete Revised Editions Boxed Set 14 May 2012
By Walkman
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I had all the original editions but wanted the revised edition for two reasons; changes in routes and paths and also simply to compare the two editions to see how the Lake District has changed (or not) over the last 50 years.

Chris Jesty has done a brilliant job - it certainly has been a labour of love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wainwright books revised for current routes 17 Nov 2011
By A.M.
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Bought these for a friend as a gift, will be asking for my own set of these for Christmas

They are by A. Wainwright but they have been updated as over time some routes have changed.

If you walk in the Lake District, these are a great companion.

Wainwright gives you some of the better, less busy/obvious, ways to approach your walks.

DON'T take just the books out on the fells though (always take/use an OS Map and Compass and know where you are).

Use the books to give you the routes which you can then walk from your map.

The nice thing about having the set is you will always have the book you need.

Best use these with latest OS maps - ideally (yellow) Explorer 1:25000, failing that (pink) Landranger 1:50000)

5.0 out of 5 stars Sympathetically updated...still the only thing you need in the lakes 4 Nov 2012
By Sam
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
My grandparents walked with the originals, which are now with my parents. I bought the updated versions last year and used them for the first time in the summer. We took both old and new up Scarfell and the updated versions showed the newer and better path not present in the old version.

AW said he always thought his books would have a shelf life, but with updates like Jesty has done, there is no reason these cannot be timeless. Its still the only thing you need to walk the lakes (I rate OS maps, but there is just no need for them with these books!!)

4.0 out of 5 stars Lakeland Fells Box Set 8 Jan 2012
By LMT
Format:Hardcover
This came up in the black Friday deals and it was a deal too good to miss. Whilst I would not use these books as a definitive guide book for hiking the hills, they are fantastic to read and offer great words of wisdom from the world famous hill walker. The annotations of the hills are amazing and the panorama sketches are timeless.

The only negative that I have is that the box was slightly damaged when it was sent, however I didn't think it necessary to return it.
