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

Explore 25 magnificent Lake District summits in the wild western valleys of Wasdale, Eskdale and Ennerdale. These valleys are quieter, wilder and more remote than the popular eastern fells, yet are home to some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in England. From the iconic bulk of Great Gable and the commanding ridgelines of Pillar and Yewbarrow to the hard-won summit of Scafell Pike, England's highest mountain, this corner of the Lake District rewards those prepared to venture further with an unmatched sense of solitude and achievement.

Whether you're a seasoned Lakeland fell walker ticking off summits or a keen hillwalker ready to take on a classic Lake District challenge, this trusted Cicerone guidebook gives you everything you need to walk in Wasdale, Eskdale and Ennerdale with confidence.

It combines complete step-by-step route descriptions with HARVEY mapping and hand-drawn topos, along with clear guidance on difficulty and experience level, so you can plan each ascent thoroughly, no matter how remote the starting point. Complete fell-by-fell coverage across all 25 Wasdale summits, with every ascent, descent and ridge connection described, not just the main path, so you can choose the route that's best for you.

HARVEY mapping, hand-drawn topos and panoramas are included for each fell, so you can identify your line of ascent and know exactly what views to expect from the top. Ridge route combinations, including classic horseshoes and remote high-level traverses, let you link fells into longer days with no two outings the same.

Practical valley base information for Wasdale Head, Nether Wasdale, Eskdale and Ennerdale Bridge, with guidance on difficulty, seasonal conditions and access. Summit tick lists to log all 25 fells, part of a series covering all 230 Lake District summits, a lifetime of Lakeland exploration in eight volumes.

Author Mark Richards, encouraged to begin outdoor writing by Alfred Wainwright himself, brings expert knowledge and fresh perspectives to the famous summits and hidden corners of the Lake District's UNESCO World Heritage landscapes. Climb the western fells with the knowledge, confidence and inspiration to make every ascent memorable with this Lake District fell walking guide.

Wasdale is just the beginning: the full Walking the Lake District Fells series covers all 230 Lake District summits across eight volumes, giving dedicated fell walkers a complete companion from first ascent to final top.
