"Each walk is well laid out, with a summary, distance, ascent, how long it will take, terrain, what maps you will need, parking, and how to get to the start with public transport. A map of the walk shows the general route and direction of travel...
I really liked this book, I found myself just diving into a walk to read as a story, to take myself into the fells I know so well. It never disappointed me. This is the standard all guide book authors should aspire to."

"Bound to be a big hit with Trail readers"
Trail magazine, April 2015
The prolific Carlisle-based author is fast becoming the go-to writer on all things Lakeland, and this latest book reflects her deep love and knowledge of the higher Lake District fells.
[This guidebook is] a worthy addition to any Lakeland fellwanderer's library.
