An inspirational larger format guidebook to fifty memorable walks on the
high fells of the English Lake District. From the favourite summits of
Scafell, Bowfell, Great Gable, the Crinkle Crags, to lesser-known fells,
this guide offers only the best walks to explore all that is pure
Lakeland.
Some of the 50 walks described in Great Mountain Days in the Lake
District are well known classic challenges - such as Scafell Pike and
Esk Pike, or the Gable Girdle - while others approach a favourite
mountain from a new angle or combine several in a testing way.
These circular hikes on the high Lakeland fells have been chosen to
provide the moderately adventurous hiker with a range of essential
routes for exploring the region. The walks are all graded, making the
guide equally suitable for less experienced walkers looking for new
summits and undiscovered areas. Only the mildest of scrambling will be
encountered, as these are four-season walks. All routes are illustrated
with Harvey maps and the author's pictorial route diagrams.
