It doesn't disappoint. You can see why it's still the series to go to. Entertaining as a stand alone book as well.

This is an upfront & honest reply. I have mixed views on this one. I thought It was by AW that's why I bought it. I think the book is very good. I liked the idea of the red ink for the paths [easy to follow]. I know that the books have to be updated. paths change, trees grow & so on. But in my honest opinion. Alfred Wainwright is a legend & should be treated as such. He was the one that devoted his life to the pictorial guides. It just don't seem right someone else should be making money out of the master of the fells. I do like your work & will be buying some of your guide books. But I am on the fence with anyone putting their name to Alfred Wainwrights years of hard work. No offence ment Yours John Harrison
This is just one of a great set of Wainwright's guide books about the Lake District, I have several others and will eventually get them all, this one was about the Far Eastern Fells which are just on my doorstep just north of Kendal, I used this one to plan a walk on my Daughter's birthday from Sadgill Bridge up the valley to Harter fell 2500ft , we (wife and Daughter) did the walk on a sunny day with a cold wind and took almost two hours to get to the summit and re created some of the sketches in the book by taking photos in the same places,we used the book all the way and always read out and try to follow his simple routes,finally we took photos at the start / finish point on and next to the bridge at Sadgill ( I later gave my Daughter a print of the bridge by the great man AW himself.) These guides are just the right size for carrying on a walk,fitting nicely into a jacket or trouser pocket for easy reference.Read full review
