Scrambles in the Lake District South

The 126 graded scramble routes in this guidebook explore the rocks and ghylls of the English Lake District from Langdale, to Coniston, Duddon, Eskdale, Longsleddale and Kentmere. Scrambling (rougher walking routes where you’ll need to use your hands) is becoming increasingly popular, and is a way of enjoying the wilder Lakeland.
