About this series: Re-issues of A. Wainwright's classic series of h&-illustrated fell walking guides. These compact hardbacks have not been amended, so they should be used with caution & alongside up-to-date maps when walking. However, Mr. Wainwright's sheer enthusiasm for fell walking is communicated to the reader & each title will add a further dimension of enjoyment to the experience of walking in the areas they cover. This series represents a landmark in the history of walking guides & is a fitting memorial to one walker's definitive contribution to the genre. ...

This is the original Pictorial Guide to the Eastern Fells of Lakeland freshly reproduced from Wainwright`s original pages. The Eastern Fells include the greatest single concentrated mass of high ground in Lakeland: a tremendous barrier running north & south, high & steep all along its length, rising to above 3000 feet on Helvellyn
- the most-often climbed mountain in the Lake District. Popular resorts such as Ambleside & Grasmere lie in this sector of the fells, as does the beautiful Patterdale valley (the best base, in Wainwright`s view, for exploring the area). The Pictorial Guides by A. Wainwright have been treasured by generations of walkers & are as enchanting & relevant now as when they were written, sixty years ago.

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.

Every page combines words & illustrations to present the routes in a way that is original, visually appealing & easy to follow.
