Difficulty

easy, circular walks on good paths, well waymarked, between 3 and 8 miles long, easy to combine Read More... into longer routes - simple country walking with the odd citrus twist in the limestone dales! Modern walking boots will give good protection in such stony situations and walking poles lend reassurance in descent.

Wanting to give an in depth summary of the White Peak Walks guides, I got on the web one rainy Saturday and did some research. Cicerone, ‘a British Publisher specialising in guidebooks from walkers, climbers and cyclists...’ Great, a British concern. Good on ‘em.

The next info to be gathered was on the author. Mark Richards. He’s a Lakeland man, keen walker, photographer and even has his own slot on BBC radio Cumbria, talking about fellwalking.

As seems to be universal with these guides, the layout is slick, presentation immaculate and book’s structure solid enough to stick in your sack.

The routes are quite chilled out affairs, up to 16km across mostly undulating countryside. If you’re in a similar position to me, needing to take the nipper out to give mum a rest, or entertaining city slicker friends, these are perfect.

All in all I’d say these books are well worth the £12.95 asking price. I’ll be heading out with the youth to try a few of them. Hope to see you out there too!’
