Product Description

This very neat, Wire-Bound Guidebook is lighter in weight than the Wainwright guides and only a few centimetres longer. For me it has everything for the modern fellwalker. Vivienne has included a very personal, interesting and comprehensive introduction. Each walking route includes: Walking route summary. Ratings for Effort, Time, Distance, Ascents/Descents, Refreshments and Vertigo Risk. Fully detailed walk description, including frequent timings to aid navigation and check your progress. GPS waypoints at every key point on every route. Full colour 1:40,000 scale O.S. licenced mapping for each route. Short walk and stroll alternatives. Vivienne Crow is a journalist who writes a weekly walking column in three newspapers in north Cumbria. She writes travel/outdoors features for a variety of publications around the world. I love her cute symbols rating guide, colourful maps, reassuring photos and clear chatty descriptions which make for a safe and enjoyable day in the fells. This guide will find a permanent home in my rucksack. Joyce Wilson --The Keswick Reminder Book Description With superb lakes carved into spectacularly sculpted valleys, long rugged ridges blessed with imposing panoramas, jagged crags dangling from grand peaks, sweeping dales cradling remote hamlets, and barren fells tonsured with ancient settlements, the Lake District has everything the dedicated wilderness seeker could desire. All 36 walking routes include: walking route summary, ratings for Effort Time Distance Ascents/Descents Refreshments and Vertigo risk, fully detailed walk description including frequent timings to aid navigation and check your progress, GPS waypoints at every key point on every route, full colour 1:40,000 scale Ordnance Survey licenced mapping for each route, short walk and stroll alternatives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Following a Hard Act, 9 Jan 2006

By	Bo Reda (Wales) - See all my reviews

Any walking guide author tackling the Lake District starts out in the shadow of Wainwright. This could be a daunting prospect but Vivienne Crow has approached the North Lake District in a different way. Wainwright provided works of reference describing fells and paths, and left his readers to work out the walks: Vivienne Crow describes walks, not all involving ascents of fell summits (though there are plenty of these), of varying length, altitude and ascent. Some of these walks I know well, others not at all: judging by the ones I know they will provide an excellent experience of the area. Many off-the-beaten-track walks are included that should be quiet and unfrequented, even in the high season - a rare luxury in the Lakes.

It's good to see the modern innovations in this new Discovery Walking Guides series such as colour printing, photography, new mapping (including Right to Roam) and GPS navigation information (Although he had some Luddite tendencies, I am sure Wainwright would have used GPS if it had been around in the 1950s). Overall they make the guides a whole lot more user friendly than more traditional ones. Plus they fit in a Rohan trouser pocket!

This is one book that I will definitely take with me next time I head for the Lakes.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last, something different!, 18 Jan 2006

By A Customer

The first thing I noticed about this book was the size. It fits perfectly into the map pocket of a waterproof jacket. I also like the spiral binding, no more flicking through the pages while halfway up a mountain in gale force winds!(Get the book bag to keep it waterproof.) The routes are varied and carefully graded (there really is something for everyone) and the photographs really give you a feel for the walks. The descriptions are very detailed but not dry - there's lots of local information and bits of geography to help you to work out what you can see when you stop for a rest, the OS mapping is helpful too. I walk in the Lakes a lot and it's so refreshing to see a different, more lively approach to route descriptions. I'm even thinking of investing in a GPS!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Looking forward to the spring!!, 10 Jan 2006

By A Customer

This book is getting me through a grim winter in Cumbria! The walks look interesting and varied and I like the way timings and gradings are given. It's also a good read because it includes some historical information and even one or two local legends. Can't wait to get back out there and do some of these walks!!
