Lakeland Fellranger walking guidebook covering 28 summits in the Central Fells of the Lake District, including a variety of ascents in the high ground between Great Langdale and Keswick. The area is flanked to the west by Stake Pass, Langstrath, Borrowdale and Derwentwater, and to the east by Grasmere, Dunmail Raise and Thirlmere. Each of the 28 fells has a dedicated chapter describing a plethora of walking routes of differing characters and difficulties (from wide bridleways up to easy scrambles), which can easily be combined to make ascents, descents, traverses or ridge routes. The chapter begins with a customised Harvey map that illustrates the routes, and shows ridge connections to neighbouring fells to assist in the planning of extended walks. In many instances pen and ink drawn diagrams show the routes from a given perspective to assist visualisation. The guidebook is fully illustrated throughout with clear elevation diagrams, detailed summit panoramas and lots of inspiring photographs. The Central Fells is part of the eight-volume Lakeland Fellranger series by Mark Richards. Together they provide a comprehensive guide to explore and enjoy the fells of the Lake District, with a selection of routes up more than 220 hills.

Review:
These are the hi-tech, digital equivalents of Wainright's classic guides. And compliments don't come any bigger.
--Country Walking Magazine, December 2008
From the Back Cover:

Collins Lakeland Fellrangers are the only comprehensive, up-to-date guides to every path, crag, fell and valley in the Lake District. The are covered in this book, the Central Fells, ranges from Great Langdale to Keswick.

The first of Wainwright's celebrated guides to the Lakeland Fells appeared in 1955, and the last of the seven-volume set was published in 1966. These titles have remained unaltered despite radical changes to the countryside and a phenomenal increase in the numbers of people visiting the area.

Collins Lakeland Fellrangers combine the personal touch found in Wainwright’s guides, with everything the modern walker needs. Traditional pen-and-ink sketches and hand-drawn maps are included alongside inspirational colour photographs, new maps and drections, and detailed diagrammatic panoramas. All this is packed into this easy-to-use portable guide.

Author Mark Richards was one of Wainwright’s proteges and with the Lakeland Fellranger books, he proves he is a worthy successor.
