Cicerone – Walking the Lake District Fells – Patterdale
Perfect for keen hillwalkers and peak-baggers alike, this guide describes ascents of 35 Lake District fells that can be climbed from Patterdale, Ambleside and the Grasmere, Thirlmere and Ullswater valleys. The area is characterised by lofty ridges, with mighty Helvellyn – recently voted the UK’s favourite walk – presiding over all. Other highlights include the classic summits of Fairfield, St Sunday Crag and Red Screes.
Unlike other guidebooks which describe a single or limited number of routes to a particular destination, the aim of the Walking the Lake District Fells series is to offer all the options. These are presented as numbered sections which can be combined to create infinite possibilities – from simple ascents to longer ridge routes. Walkers have both the freedom to devise their own routes and the information to make informed decisions, thanks to the clear descriptions of the routes themselves, terrain, hazards, interesting features and safe descent paths should the weather close in. A handful of classic ridge routes are also described.
The series is a celebration of the fells and combines Mark Richards’ inimitable text with HARVEY mapping and the author’s own beautiful sketch topos and panoramas. Conveniently sized to fit in a pocket or rucksack top, the books can be used both for pre-planning and on the hill. These true connoisseurs’ guides are sure to inspire you to get out and explore.
