Set to become the new definitive guide to the Lake District fells, the Lakeland Fellranger Series offer a comprehensive guide to fellwalkers. The Near Eastern volume covers peaks such as Helvellyn, St.Sunday Crag and Fairfield.
This Lakeland Fellranger guidebook by Mark Richards covers 35 summits in the near-eastern Fells of the Lake District. It includes a variety of the selected walking routes, old and new, between Ambleside, Grasmere and Ullswater, 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.
This Lakeland Fellranger guide to the Near Eastern Fells of the Lake District covers the range of sprawling giants from Ambleside north to Threlkeld, between the long ribbons of Ullswater and Thirlmere. Long days of open fells and chiselled aretes await the walker, and with 35 fells with descriptions and variations in the guide, the possibilities are endless.
What sort of walking awaits? With so many peaks and pathways, there's something for walkers of all abilities. The Near Eastern Fells are sculpted and sweeping. From the justly famous heights of Helvellyn and Striding Edge, to St Sunday Crag, Fairfield, Catstycam and Hart Side, the Near Eastern fells offer fellranging pleasure, great or small, to everyone.
The Near Eastern 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.
