Alfred Wainwrights - A Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells: Book Three (3), The Central Fells: Being an Illustrated Account of a Study and Exploration of the Mountains in the English Lake District.
Alfred Wainwrights much loved pictorial guides to the fells of the Lake District have long been an institution in hill walking. For over 50 years, his incredible knowledge of the area and keen eye for detail have made exploring the Lakes a less daunting and more enjoyable task. Now, and for the first time, the Wainwright Estate have granted Chris Jesty permission for a sensitive process of updating to ensure that all the diagrams and descriptions are still as accurate and precise as A.W. was himself.
Book Two: The Far Eastern Fells, offers the reader a detailed and useful guide to the fells closest to the M6 around Wastwater and Ullswater including such perrenial favorites as the Kentmere, and Troutbeck Valleys which hold some of the best ridge walking in the Lakes.
