The Far Eastern Fells (Readers Edition): A Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells Book 2

One name above all others has become

associated with walking in the Lake District:

Alfred Wainwright, whose seven-volume

Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells, first published in 1955-

66, has become the definitive guidebook.

Wainwright’

s meticulously hand-drawn

maps, diagrams and drawings take walkers up the 214 principal hills and mountains of the Lake District, describing the main routes of ascent from different starting points, as well as lesser-known variants, showing the summit viewpoint panoramas and the ridge routes that can be made to create longer walks. Every page combines words and illustrations to

present the routes in a way that is original, visually appealing

and easy to follow.

The Far Eastern Fells, Book Two of the Pictorial Guides, covers the entire area east of Kirkstone Pass, bordered by Ullswater in the north by Windermere in the south, and includes the ascents of High Street, Ill Bell, Place Fell and Wansfell.
