Walking the Lake District Fells - Keswick (häftad, eng)

North of Keswick, the Lake District takes on a different character. The broad, sweeping ridges of Skiddaw and the dramatic aretes of Blencathra give way to the quiet, open plateau of the Skiddaw Forest and the rarely visited tops of the northern fells, where solitude and far-reaching views reward those who venture beyond the popular paths.

This second edition Cicerone guidebook by Mark Richards, who was encouraged to begin writing by Alfred Wainwright himself, covers all 30 summits accessible from Keswick across a range of experience levels. Every fell is described fell by fell with HARVEY mapping, hand-drawn topos and panoramas, giving you a fresh perspective on classic summits and lesser-known gems.
