Lake District Great Mountain Days: 50 Classic Routes for Exploring the Lakeland Fells

Great Mountain Days in the Lake District is Mark Richards’™ large format Cicerone guide exploring the classic routes of the Lakeland Fells. The guide is both practical and inspirational in providing details of 50 diverse expeditions on the high fells. Memorable mountain walks that are covered include routes up Scafell Pike, Bowfell, Blencathra and Great Gable, horseshoe ridge routes along Fairfield, Helvellyn and Newland, ridge walks and scrambles across Sharp Edge, Striding Edge and St Sunday Craig and family days out on the fells including Lingmoor Fell, Wetherlam, Haystacks and Place Fell.The guide is organised into the 50 main routes which take in the majority of the Lake District area. Each walk begins with an information box providing detailed information on distance, height gain, time, difficulty grading, starting points, the relevant maps and after-walk refreshments. The walks are all graded, making the guide equally suitable for less experienced walkers looking for new summits and undiscovered areas. A detailed introduction considers the issue of conserving and caring for the Fells as well as weather conditions. There is also a foreword by Sir Chris Bonington. Detailed walk descriptions are accompanied by detailed route sketches mapping the route ahead in addition to full page colour photographs illustrating some of the highlights of the region.
