The Southern Fells is part of a planned 8-part Cicerone series of Lakeland Fellranger volumes written by Mark Richards that provide a comprehensive survey of the fells of the English Lake District. This volume covers the Southern Fells which are defined to the north by the ‘lost’ Roman Road that crossed Hardknott & Wrynose passes & led from Eskdale into Little Langdale. The fells then run south on both sides of the river Duddon with the Coniston fells to the east. The area begins upon harter Fell & ends remotely upon the coastal reaches of Black Combe. The guide reveals the contemporary pattern of fell approaches, ascents & ridge routes & gives walkers the flexibility to choose between the well-known peaks & the more hidden areas of the District. The guide is structured into 23 sections with each Fell in the area having its own dedicated chapter. Each section describes the variety of routes on the fell & has a ‘ Starting Points’ information box providing details on location, Grid Reference, Parking facilities & any local bus stops. There are also fellscape diagrams & detailed summit panoramas that complement the written text. A detailed introduction introduces the Lake District to readers & provides information on safety in Lakeland & a note on the ‘ Fix the Fells’ campaign to repair some of the most damaged fell paths. There is also an advisory note from the National Park authorities on responsible walking. Four graphic projections of the range also give the reader an overall impression of the area. Detailed route descriptions are accompanied by extracts from cartographic specialists Harvey mapping the route, as well as colour photographs illustrating some of the highlights of one of England’s most beautiful & popular walking destinations. ...
