Great Mountain Days in the Lake District is Mark Richards’ large format Cicerone guide exploring the classic routes of the Lakeland Fells. The guide is both practical & inspirational in providing details of 50 diverse expeditions on the high fells. Memorable mountain walks that are covered include routes up Scafell Pike, Bowfell, Blencathra & Great Gable, horseshoe ridge routes along Fairfield, Helvellyn & Newl&, ridge walks & scrambles across Sharp Edge, Striding Edge & St Sunday Craig & family days out on the fells including Lingmoor Fell, Wetherlam, Haystacks & Place Fell.
