Set to become the new definitive guide to the Lake District fells, the Lakeland Fellranger Series offer a comprehensive guide to fellwalkers. The Mid Western volume covers peaks such as Scafell, Glaramara and Crinkle Crags.
This Lakeland Fellranger guidebook by Mark Richards covers 22 summits in the Mid-Western Fells of the Lake District. It includes a variety of the selected walking routes, old and new, in the triangle between Great Langdale, Borrowdale and Wasdale, all presented with the author’s inimitable passion and flair. In many ways the Fellranger series offers a modern and up to date alternative to 'classic' guides from Wainwright and W.A Poucher.
Featuring with stunning colour photographs, topographical diagrams and detailed Harvey's maps throughout, the Fellranger guides offer very detailed information on various peaks and their popular ascent routes.
The Mid-Western Fells of the Lake District lie in a wedge above Hardknott Pass stretching north to Borrowdale, between Elterwater and Little Langdale in the east to Wast Water and Wasdale. The 22 fells described in this guide are some of the highest and most renowned in Lakeland, including the highest peak in England, Scafell Pike. With multiple route variations for every fell, the possibities for walkers of all abilities are endless.
What sort of walking awaits? The Mid-Western fells are the heart of the Lake District, a range of the most beloved peaks. The craggy summits of Bowfell, the Crinkle Crags and Great End mix with the scree-lined hillsides of Illgill Head and the chiselled heights of Scafell, Pike o'Blisco and Glaramara. But don't overlook the other Mid-Western fells, for exquisite fell walking can be found just next-door to the Lakeland greats.
The Mid-Western Fells is part of the eight-volume Lakeland Fellranger series by Mark Richards. Fellrangers mix the perfect balance of inspiration and information as they provide a comprehensive guide to the fells of the English Lake District. In every book, a dedicated chapter covers each fell, with a variety of routes, both time-honoured and undiscovered depicted on Harvey maps. The author's own topos and summit panoramas, not to mention breathtaking photography, enhance the reader's journey, and make sure that any trip to the Mid-Western Fells with a Fellranger in hand is one to remember.
