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 h&-drawn maps, diagrams & drawings take walkers up the 214 principal hills & 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 & the ridge routes that can be made to create longer walks. Every page combines words & illustrations to present the routes in a way that is original, visually appealing & easy to follow. This new edition of Wainwright's Walking Guide to the Lake District Fells has been comprehensively revised. Paths, maps, diagrams & route descriptions have been checked & corrected throughout. These revisions have been undertaken by writer & designer Clive Hutchby, author of The Wainwright Companion. The Southern Fells, Book Four of Wainwright's Walking Guide, covers the great mountain systems of Scafell-Bowfell & the Coniston fells &

Includes::
some of Wainwright's own favourite ascents, such as Scafell Pike, Bowfell & Crinkle Crags. About the author 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 he began to devote every spare moment he had to researching & compiling the original seven Pictorial Guides. He described these as his 'love letters' to the Lakeland Fells & at the end of the first, The Eastern Fells, he wrote about what the mountains had come to mean to him. A. Wainwright died in 1991 at the age of 84. Clive Hutchby climbed his very first Lakeland fell just two years after the publication of the last of legendary fellwalker & guidebook writer Alfred Wainwright ’s seven Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells, & a full six years before the author relented to ‘pressure’ from his fans & produced his final guide to the mountains of the English Lake District, The Outlying Fells of Lakel&. After conquering Catbells, he has grown taller (and older, unfortunately), & in the intervening years since has edited newspapers in England & the United States & also worked in Irel&. In all three countries he has won journalism awards for writing & designing. Clive is the author of The Wainwright Companion, published in 2012, of which Cumberland News wrote ' No-one has analysed the Pictorial Guidebooks produced by Alfred Wainwright more closely than Clive Hutchby. He's counted the clouds in every book'.
