Synopsis
Originally compiled in the 1950s and early 1960s, the Wainwright walking guides are perhaps the most distinctive and unusual such guides ever devised. The result of painstaking and lengthy research by their namesake and author over a period of thirteen years, the guides have retained their original format and design to this day. The books contain intricate hand drawn sketches by the author, detailing routes of ascent, and gradients of the hills in and around the Lake District and outlying regions. The seven guides covering the Fells district, as well as the Outlying Fells of Lakeland will be reissued by Frances Lincoln in April.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   8 of 8 people found the following review helpful: An excellent walking guide, 7 Feb 2006 By  jdennis_99 (Nottingham, England) - See all my reviews This review is from: Central Fells: 3 (Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells 50th Anniversary Editions) (Hardcover) I've been a Lakeland enthusiast for quite a number of years, but it was only on my most recent trip that I was in a bookshop and noticed seven little white books... everywhere. I didn't really think much of it, until I was bought one for my birthday - book seven. It had the Great Gable walk in it, a mountain which I still haven't found the time to climb, but I'll get round to it. I read it from cover to cover - unusual, considering it's a guidebook, and was immediately hooked. Wainwright has classified and categorised the Lake District so perfectly and so completely that if you have walked the paths he describes, you can almost see the views in your mind as you read the books. They are all lovingly and painstakingly produced - the hours he must have spent poring over maps and trespassing over various farmers' fields! Wainwright himself said that they were 'love letters' to the Lake District. An absolute must-have series for anyone who likes to wander around the fells.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) › See all customer reviews...
