Product Description

Product Description
The second in the "Short Walks in Lakeland" trilogy, which also includes guides to South Lakeland (book 1) and West Lakeland (book 3). This guide divides the region into six sections: Borrowdale; the Northern Fells; Thirlmere; Newlands and the north west; Patterdale and Ullswater; the Eastern Fells and Dales. The guide comprises 57 walks generally between 4 and 8 miles, enough to pleasantly fill a good half-day or leisurely full day, and ideal for day visitors or family walkers. It is not a high fell walking guide, although many worthwhile summits are included. Priority is given to the lower fells and dales, which are as rewarding as their high brethren. Some of the walks are classic and well used. Others seek out lonely miners' tracks or medieval hollow ways which are still green and a joy to walk. Interesting features are pointed out along the way, whilst the specially drawn maps include relevant walk details. The combination of detailed description and clear, easy-to-follow maps and evocative sketches makes this book ideal for anyone who wants to explore the Lakeland.

About the Author
Aileen Evans, now retired after a career in teaching and book production, has enjoyed a lifelong love of the outdoors. She has climbed, walked, skied and camped in many parts of Europe and North America and considers the Isle of Man a favourite which continually draws her to return. She prefers to linger on a walk, allowing time to appreciate views, to enjoy flowers and wildlife, and delve into things of historical interest. Aileen has always enjoyed adventure sports and sampled most, including pot-holing, wild-water canoeing and alpine mountaineering. She still particularly enjoys rock climbing and exploring little-known places away from mainstream tourist areas. Recently, with encouragement from her grandson, she has taken up mountain biking. Some of Aileen's more memorable tours include cross- country ski-backpacking in France, walking across the remote interior of Iceland and a trek to Iceland's North Cape, and completing the Tour of Mont Blanc and the Alpine Pass Route. At home in Lancashire, with her husband, Brian, and collie, Meg, she enjoys her garden, particularly the visiting birds. Brian Evans, now retired after a career in printing and publishing, has enjoyed a lifetime's love of the outdoors. He has climbed, walked, skied and camped in many parts of Europe and North America, yet always returns to the Lake District, which has a special place in his affections. He prefers to explore out-of-the-way places, preferably with the added attraction of rock, to which he has been addicted since childhood. Brian has always enjoyed adventure sports including pot-holing, wild-water canoeing, skiing and alpine mountaineering. He still particularly enjoys rock climbing in all its forms, from long adventurous climbs where route-finding skills are necessary to single-pitch bolted sports climbs in the Mediterranean sun. Recently, with encouragement from his grandson, he has taken up mountain biking. Some of Brian's most memorable trips include multi-day alpine climbs such as the West face routes of the Dru and the Aiguille Noire; walking across the remote interior of Iceland; ski-backpacking in France; canoeing tumultous alpine rivers; and delving deep underground in the Vercors potholes. At home in Lancashire with his wife, Aileen, and collie, Meg, he enjoys drawing and painting, and planning the next adventurous trip.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great walks away from the crowds, 22 April 2009
By A. A. Smeaton "cootking" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Unlike the previous reviewer I have found this series to have some of the best walks in the Lakes. The instructions are necessarily detailed and a map is helpful on occasions but these walks are full of interesting features and great viewpoints and are often away from the crowds. Buy all three in the series and use them. Highly recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Short Walks in Lakeland, 27 Feb 2009
By David Wareing "Hanner Ceiniog" (Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Looks good but in trying to plan walks I found the directions somewhat vague and was on several occasions unable to map the routes described.
Two walks I aborted in the planning stage because of this vagueness.
