Scrambles in the Lake District - South: 120 Classic Routes, Brian Evans - This is the first of a two-volume set of guides to scrambles in the Lake District. The set are based on "Scrambles in the Lake District" and "More Scrambles in the Lake District", two of the original scrambling guides to the Lake District by one of Britain's best-known climbers. Continually reprinted for 20 years these guides have now been fully updated and merged into two definitive guides, for southern and northern Lakes. The Lake District's rich mix of rocks, gills and crags offers the scrambler a complex variety of routes, often well removed from the beaten track. Scrambling - ascending rock that is not usually difficult or steep enough to warrant the term 'rock climbing' - means you often hardly touch a path and rarely see other people at close quarters. This is a way of getting back to a wilder Lakeland and enjoying the freedom of rough mountain country. The features include: this guide covers Langdale, Coniston, Duddon, Eskdale, Longsleddale and Kentmere; 126 scramble routes graded 1 to 4; advice on how to approach scrambling safely and with confidence; overview maps as well as sketch diagrams of the crags and routes; introductions to each area mentioned, indicating the type of rock and any recommendations; and information on the approach, character, grade and route of each scramble. Published March 05. Scrambles in the Lake District - North, Brian Evans - This volume covers Wasdale, Ennerdale, and Buttermere, Thirlmere, Patterdale, Mardale and Swindale. Published May 07.
Waterside Walks in Cumbria & the Lake District, Mark Elliot - Using this book as a guide, you can stroll by delightful stretches of the Cocker, Derwent, Greta, Rothay, Est, and Leven rivers and enjoy the many beautiful lakes and reservoirs, set in stunning scenery, at such places as Derwentwater, Buttermere Lake, Wast Water, Elter Water and, of course, Lake Windermere. There is also the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful coastline and breathtaking views on walks at St Bees, Ravenglass and Haverigg. Published May 09 |

Short Walks in Lakeland: Book 1: South Lakeland, Aileen & Brian Evans - The first book in the "Short Walks in Lakeland" trilogy, which also covers North Lakeland (book 2) and West Lakeland (book 3). This guide divides South Lakeland into four regions: the Central Fells; the area around Coniston Water and Windermere; the Eastern Fells and Dales; the Limestone Fringe. 60 short walks are described, generally between 4 and 9 miles, enough to pleasantly fill a good half-day, and ideal for day visitors or family walkers. Some longer walks could be split, others combined. It is not a high fell walking guide, although several popular summits are included. Priority is given to the lower fells and dales, which are as rewarding as their higher brethren. The combination of detailed description and clear, easy-to-follow maps and evocative sketches makes this book ideal for anyone who wants to explore Lakeland. If you work your way through the walks you will retain many rich memories of some of England's most scenic countryside. Published February 08.

Walks in the
Silverdale/Arnside AONB, R B Evans - The area covered by this book is
compact - north to south from Milnthorpe to Carnforth is 7 miles; west to
east from Arnside Point to Hutton Roof is 8 miles. Within its confines is
perhaps the most prolific concentration of high quality woodland path
walking in the north of England and undoubtedly the most beautiful coastal
scenery in the north-west. Much of the area lies within the Arnside/Silverdale
area of outstanding natural beauty - almost the whole of the land to the
west of the A6 between Warton and Milnthorpe. Whilst the network of paths is
well walked and jealously loved by locals, it deserves wider recognition.
Anyone who likes a short walk in beautiful scenery would find a visit
delightful. Naturalists know the area well, for it is rich in a varied flora
and fauna, especially at the several nature reserves and the RSPB reserve at
Leighton Moss. The walks described are short enough to fill an afternoon or
a short day, but long enough to make you feel feel that you have
accomplished something. Times are based on a medium pace without taking into
account any major halts. Even so, the times are generous and fast walkers could
easily link two walks in a day. Remember that a
fast walker sees little apart from the path at his feet; the connoisseur
always takes an hour or two longer. It would be a pity to visit an area
which is so rich in plant, bird and animal life and not notice much of it!

A Literary Guide to the Lake Distict, Grevel Lindop -
This new edition has
been fully revised and updated and includes material based on original local
and historical research not generally available. It follows five major
routes; each is divided into shorter sections by subheadings, clearly laid
out, with easy-to-follow maps and clear, detailed directions. Indexes of
places and of people make it easy to find the literary associations between
them. Visitors to the Lake District may already know that William Wordsworth
and his sister Dorothy moved to Dove Cottage, Grasmere in 1799. But they may
not know where to find the places they wrote about, the walks they took and
the views they loved. This book will guide readers to all these places, and
to those that inspired Wordsworth’s friends and followers Coleridge, Thomas
De Quincey, Keats, Shelley and many more. The values portrayed in
Wordsworth’s poem The Excursion, were to attract the well-known artist,
critic and ecologist John Ruskin to the Lake District many times before he
finally settled at Brantwood in 1872. In his wake came H D Rawnsley (who
with Beatrix Potter founded the National Trust), W G Collingwood (Lakeland
archaeologist and historian) and his friend Arthur Ransome. Thomas Hardy and
Dickens, Edward Thomas and D H Lawrence, Hugh Walpole, Wainwright and Melvyn
Bragg have all been inspired or stimulated by the Lakes, and their literary
locations and adventures are chronicled here place by place. Published

Wainwright, The Man Who Loved The Lakes, Martin
Wainwright - Like "Coast", the book is a celebration of the British
landscape, specifically the Lake District, and it tells the remarkable story
of Alfred Wainwright who in 1952, decided to hand draw a series of guides to
the fells of Lakeland. For the next 13 years, he spent every weekend
walking, and every weekday evening drawing and writing - completing one page
per night. The result was Wainwright's "Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland
Fells". Although initially self published they have now sold over a million
copies and are still popular and much loved today. He went on to present a
series of TV shows on the BBC about walking in the Lake District that made
him even better known. Like Fred Dibnah he was an unlikely celebrity, he
preferred his own company and thought walking in the countryside should be a
solitary rather than group pursuit. This year marks the 100th anniversary of
his birth and this TV series and book are sure to introduce him to a new
generation of lovers of the countryside. It features some of Wainwright's
favourite walks and is lavishly illustrated including a large number of
aerial shots of Lakeland. Published June 07.

The Wainwright Memorial Walk,
A Wainwright - The Wainwright Memorial
Walk is the 102-mile route through the Lake District that A. Wainwright -
legendary author, artist and fell-walker - set out to walk with three
friends over the Whitsunday holiday of 1931. The route the friends took -
recorded in sketch maps at the time - is highlighted here on maps from
Wainwright's much-loved Pictorial Guides, accompanied by text from the
guides and Wainwright's other writings. Wainwright's walk - originally
planned to take six days - is here split into eleven manageable stages.
These can be taken either as independent one-day walks or as a whole. The
route starts in Windermere and ends in Ambleside. Along the way, Wainwright
promises to lead the walker everywhere worth mentioning in the Lake
District, on a route devised to make sure that 'Every lake, Every valley,
Every mountain, will be seen if not actually visited'. Born in Blackburn in
1907, Alfred Wainwright left school at the age of 13. A holiday at the age
of 23 kindled a life-long love affair with the Lake District. Following a
move to Kendal in 1941 Wainwright devoted every spare minute of his days to
researching and compiling the original seven Pictorial Guides. Other
guidebooks and sketchbooks followed. Following Wainwright's death in 1991,
Michael Joseph bought the complete list. In 2003 the rights were sold to
Frances Lincoln, and the printing of the Pictorial Guides returned to their
original location in Kendal. All seven Pictorial Guides and many other
guides and sketchbooks have been re-issued by Frances Lincoln in an on-going
programme of re-publication and revision. Published March 04.

Tour of The Lake District, Jim Reid - With a
flavour of each of the main Lakeland valleys, and time to stop and wonder at
their charms, the walk described in this book leads quickly away from the
busy tourist centres to the quiet pleasures of the fell country. Designed as
a scenic tour of the Lake District, the route is primarily one of valleys
and passes, rather than a tick list of peaks attained. The shepherds and
drovers chose their paths well, logical links from one valley to the next,
and many of these ancient ways have been chosen for this walk. All footpaths
and bridleways used are on established rights of way. The walk starts at the
railway terminus at Windermere town, quickly leaving the crowds behind and
passes through Ambleside, the Langdale valley, Coniston, Dunnerdale, Eskdale,
Wasdale, Ennerdale, Buttermere, Newlands Valley, Keswick, Borrowdale,
Grasmere then Ullswater, before returning back to Windermere via the
Troutbeck valley. Published March 07.

Cumbria
Way and Allerdale Ramble, Jim Watson - This
text describes two trails through Cumbria. The Cumbria Way (75 miles) runs
right through the heart of the county from Ulverston to Carlisle. This is
classic Lakeland walking taking in both farmland and mountin scenery:
Coniston Water, Tarn Hows, the Langdale Pikes, Langstrath, Borrowdale,
Derwent-water and Back o'Skiddaw. It is a balanced route that splits into
five sections of about 15 miles, on established paths along the valley
bottoms and through the fells. A walk of more variety and contrast is The
Allerdale Ramble (50 miles). Starting at Seathwaite deep in the Lakeland
fells, it travels to Keswick via a scenic walk, and continues through the
northern fells via 3000ft Skiddaw and Bassenthwaite Lake to the market town
of Cockermouth. Each of these walks can be completed comfortably in a week's
holiday for those who are reasonably fit, or can be split into shorter day
walks. Published June 01.

Walks Around Ullswater,
Mary Walsh - I picked up a copy of this handy little guide from the
Ullswater Steamer ticket office at Pooley Bridge, as it contained details of
a walk - up Hallin Fell, from the steamer pier at Howtown - that we were
intending to do anyway. The walk was great, with stunning views of Ullswater
from the top of the Fell. As for the book, I'd certainly recommend it - the
instructions were clear, accurate and easy to follow, making effective
reference to key landmarks along the way. There were only a couple of points
along the entire 4 mile walk where the next step was in any doubt, and these
were soon resolved by reference to the relevant Ordnance Survey Explorer
map. However, the little map provided in the book met most of our needs,
benefiting from being drawn to scale. Buyer Review. Published July 05.

Rambler's Guide - The Lake
District, John Gillham & Roger Turnbull - Among the most spectacular
landscapes in Britain, the Lake District offers a unique combination of crag
and cafe, of ice-climb and ice-cream shop, or of the slippery gill and the
hollyhocks of the cottage garden. It is this that makes the Lake District
the perfect place for a walk on the wild - and yet civilised - side. The
introduction gives information about the topography, geology and history of
the area, and describes the flora and fauna inhabiting it. The main section
of the book comprises 30 walks, suitable for all abilities, from young
children to experienced walkers. Each walk has a key illustrating principal
features, such as level of difficulty and type of terrain, a route profile
indicating altitude and distances, as well as a fact file summarizing useful
information, such as start and finish points, duration, safety advice and
points of interest. It is illustrated with colour maps from leading
authority, Harveys, and each walk is then described in detail.

Lake to Lake Walk, Alistair Wallace - Only rarely does a valid new walk appear. "The Lake To Lake" is one such walk. It represents the first long distance trek in this country since Wainwright's Coast To Coast, many years ago. It begins at Lake Windermere in the Cumbrian Lake District and traverses the magnificent north Pennines before ending at Kielder Reservoir in Northumberland. During its 166 miles progress it takes in some of the most beautiful unspoilt countryside in the country and visits a cornucopia of small towns and long forgotten settlements, all with a fascinating history to be revealed. Its originator, Alistair Wallace, has already been hailed as 'the new Wainwright' and this book can only enhance his reputation further. Limited availability. Published November 99.
