Great Mountain Days in the Lake District - Walks in the Lakes

Fifty memorable expeditions on the high fells of Lakeland. Graded circular routes equally suitable for the moderately adventurous walker looking for undiscovered areas and for the less experienced walker starting out on the fells.

To aid visualisation the routes are depicted both on line diagrams and customised HARVEY maps (1:40,000). The former give an aerial impression of the walks, while the latter pin-point the key detail covered in the route description. The bold symbols of HARVEY maps make them well suited to outdoor use. HARVEY maps owe their origins to the dynamic sport of orienteering, and it shows. Note that key landmarks that feature on the maps and diagrams appear in bold in the text to help you plot the route.

Although the guide contains map extracts and diagrams, you are strongly advised to also take with you the relevant sheet map for the route – not only for safety, but also to help you get to know the wider area in which you are walking.

Six HARVEY Superwalker maps are required for the walks in this guide: Lakeland Central, Lakeland South West, Lakeland South East, Lakeland East, Lakeland West, Lakeland North.

Alternatively, four Ordnance Survey maps are needed: OL4 North-western area, OL5 North-eastern area, OL6 South-western area, OL7 South-eastern area.
