Walking guide by Mark Richards covering 29 summits in the North-Western Fells of the English Lake District, with a wide range of ascents between Borrowdale in the east and Buttermere in the west, and as far south as Honister Pass. All illustrated with the author's topos and panoramas and Harvey map extracts.



Activities:
walking and (occasional optional) scrambling



Seasons: Suitable all-year round, but winter walking, even on the lower fells, is not for the inexperienced or under-equipped.



Centres: Keswick, Grange-in-Borrowdale, Rosthwaite, Seatoller, Buttermere, High Lorton, Cockermouth, Braithwaite and Stair



Difficulty: Straightforward, short ascents, often not on clear paths, to be used as a basis for readers’ own circuits. Navigational skills needed but no specialist equipment. Any scrambling is easy and non-scrambling options are always provided.



Must See: Borrowdale, Buttermere and Bassenthwaite; Captivating Catbells, mighty Grasmoor, enticing Causey Pike and invigorating Grisedale Pike, handsome Hindscarth and bold Robinson; a succession of fine airy ridges and craggy little heights
