Beschrijving
Van de uitgever
Part of the Walking the Lake District Fells series, this guidebook covers a wide range of routes to 35 Lakeland summits that can be climbed from Ambleside, Grasmere and Patterdale and the Thirlmere and Ullswater valleys, with highlights including Helvellyn and Fairfield. Suggestions for longer ridge routes are also included.
Seasons
Year-round walking. Winter walks, even on the lower fells, are not for the inexperienced or under-equipped.
Centres
Patterdale, Hartsop, Ambleside, Rydal, Grasmere, Thirlmere, Threlkeld, Dockray, Glenridding
Difficulty
Straightforward ascents on sometimes clear, sometimes faint paths, and occasionally pathless terrain, to be used as a basis for readers’ own walks. Navigational skills are needed but no specialist equipment. Any scrambling is easy and non-scrambling alternatives are always provided.
Must See
A fresh perspective on classic summits in the Lakes including Helvellyn, Fairfield, Catstycam, Dollywaggon Pike, St Sunday Crag and Red Screes, and an inspiring introduction to lesser-known Lakeland fells such as Sheffield Pike and Clough Head; superlative ridge walking including the iconic Fairfield Horseshoe
