About Wainwrights Pictorial Guide - Book 4: Southern Fells 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 Four: The Southern Fells, covers some of the most popular areas of the Lake District between Coniston, Langdale and Wastwater and include the highest of the English Mountains, that of Scafell and Scafell Pike, But do not get too caught up with these celebrities and miss the gems of the area like Crinkle Crags, Piko-o-Blisco and the fantastically names Glaramara.
