This Lakeland Fellranger guide to the Near Eastern Fells of the Lake District covers the range of sprawling giants from Ambleside north to Threlkeld, between the long ribbons of Ullswater and Thirlmere. Long days of open fells and chiselled aretes await the walker, and with 35 fells with descriptions and variations in the guide, the possibilities are endless. What sort of walking awaits? With so many peaks and pathways, theres something for walkers of all abilities. The Near Eastern Fells are sculpted and sweeping. From the justly famous heights of Helvellyn and Striding Edge, to St Sunday Crag, Fairfield, Catstycam and Hart Side, the Near Eastern fells offer fellranging pleasure, great or small, to everyone. The Near Eastern Fells is part of the eight-volume Lakeland Fellranger series by Mark Richards. Fellrangers mix the perfect balance of inspiration and information as they provide a comprehensive guide to the fells of the English Lake District. In every book, a dedicated chapter covers each fell, with a variety of routes, both time-honoured and undiscovered depicted on Harvey maps. The authors own topos and summit panoramas, not to mention breathtaking photography, enhance the readers journey, and make sure that any trip to the Near Eastern Fells with a Fellranger in hand is one to remember. A waterproof PVC cover and ribbon bookmark make this Lakeland Fellranger guide a handy companion in the hills. Every route is illustrated with HARVEY maps, colour photographs, fellscape diagrams and panorama guides. A walk and a fell for everyone - with alternative routes, height distance and timing information to tailor-make your ranging.
