This is a pocket-sized guide designed to be taken on the fells and outlines the many classic fell walking rounds to be enjoyed on the Lakeland fells. It is aimed at the moderate to advanced walker wanting complete circuits rather than detailed information on each fell. It includes classics like the Striding Edge - Swirral Edge round; the Coledale Horseshoe; Fairfield Horseshoe; Mosedale Horseshoe; Langdale Pikes etc. A total of 79 Wainwrights are covered by the guide. The book is intended as an inspirational guide and uses many of the author's high quality photographs to inspire the user well before they set foot on the fells. Each route is outlined on the relevant Ordnance Survey map and includes information on distances, height gained and parking.

The Eastern Fells include the greatest single concentrated mass of high ground in Lakeland: a tremendous barrier running north and south, high and steep all along its length, rising to above 3000 feet on Helvellyn - the most-often climbed mountain in the Lake District. Popular resorts such as Ambleside and Grasmere lie in this sector of the fells, as does the beautiful Patterdale valley (the best base, in Wainwright's view, for exploring the area). This is the original Pictorial Guide to the Eastern Fells of Lakeland, freshly reproduced from Wainwright's original pages. These popular Pictorial Guides have been treasured by generations of walkers and are as enchanting and inspiring now as when they were written, half a century ago.
