'Anyone who has enjoyed using the two Short Walks in Lakeland books, North and South, by Aileen and Brian, would be looking forward to the third and last of the trilogy. The guides are definitely a model for what walkers’ guides should be – beautifully designed, chunky and pocket-sized, packed with information, and many excellent illustrations include fine sketches and colour photographs. The maps are all neat and clear, and there are many panoramas with named peaks. The selection of 50 walks in this less-used area of the Lake District offers a wide variety, graded easy, moderate and strenuous. Here are some of the finest walks in the whole of the Lakes including classics like the head of Wastwater Screes and the Great Gable traverse. All are exceptionally well researched and clearly described. The advice in the introduction is as it should be. The Evans’ books are in a class of their own and strongly recommended.'
