This classic compendium from Lake District legend Bill Birkett details 120 classic walks onto the summits of all the Lakeland fells over 1000ft (541 of them in total). A must have book for any true Lakes aficionado.
Dividing the Lake District National Park into seven topological areas, and using his local knowledge of the region, Bill Birkett has mapped out a series of routes for all levels of walker.
Each area is divided up into a series of group walks, accompanied by a list of peaks encountered and practical information such as duration and difficulty of walk, and references to Ordnance Survey maps. An area fact sheet lists accommodation and transport facilities. Precise descriptions of the walks are enlivened by photographs and topological maps. An appendix contains details of all the peaks, and their altitudes and map references.
The legendary beauty, unique character and accessibility of the Lake District makes it irresistible to hill walkers of all levels. Complete Lakeland Fells is painstakingly researched and written, so that walking distances and duration and altitudes gained are given for every walk, together with the heights of the major fells encountered.
