Synopsis

This volume is derived from an arduous two-week journey undertaken by the author, during which he traversed all the major mountain ridges of the Lake District, taking in the principal summits. It presents the 186-mile route - which begins and ends at Windermere Station - in the form of a 14-day challenge for serious fell walkers not put off by the thought of some 56,000 feet of ascent in the most mountainous terrain England has to offer. Each chapter comprises an anecdotal account of the day's walking ahead, followed by a detailed route description, including colour-highlighted maps and viewpoint diagrams for the main summits.
