Mark Richards' Walking the Lake District Fells series is a unique collection of eight guidebooks with all the routes to the summits of 230 Lakeland fells. This guide explores 30 summits from the Keswick area. Designed so peak-baggers can create adventures using the complete route descriptions, Harvey maps, fell-friendly paths, and hand-drawn topos.
30 Keswick fells covered in full, from Skiddaw and Blencathra to Latrigg, Lonscale Fell, Bowscale Fell and the quieter northern summits, with every ascent, descent and ridge connection described. Four named ridge routes, the Skiddaw Skyline, the Blencathra Round, the Northern Crown and the Aiken Beck Horseshoe are described, offering longer days linking multiple summits across the finest ridges in the northern Lake District.
Whether you're a seasoned Lakeland fell walker ticking off summits or a keen hillwalker ready to take on a classic Lake District challenge, this trusted Cicerone guidebook gives you everything you need to walk in Borrowdale with confidence. It combines complete step-by-step route descriptions with Harvey mapping and hand-drawn topos, with clear guidance on difficulty and experience level, so you can plan each ascent thoroughly.
