This guidebook describes the best low-level walking in the Lake
District, enjoying walks around the lakes, smaller fells and beauty
spots such as Windermere, Wansfell Pike and Tarn Hows. New visitors
to the Lake District will be delighted by the selection of walks
taking in some of the most picturesque parts of the National Park,
such as Windermere, Grasmere, and Ambleside as well as quieter
areas like Buttermere and Thirlmere. Even those who have done a lot
of walking in the Lake District may have missed some of the
beautiful low-level walks included in this book. Routes range from
7 to 17km and are suitable for walkers of all abilities. Each route
is illustrated with OS map extracts and present no technical
difficulties over terrain from wide constructed trails to narrow
paths on open fell. Located across the whole of the Lake District,
the walks are divided into five sections: South Lakes (Windermere,
Coniston, Duddon and the south), Central Lakes (Ambleside,
Langdale, Grasmere and Thirlmere), Western Valleys (Eskdale,
Wasdale and the Buttermere area), North Lakes (Keswick, Borrowdale
and Derwentwater) and Eastern Lakes (Ullswater and Patterdale).
King of the Fells. Iron man. Lake District fell running legend.
Joss Naylor is all of these things and more. His achievements are
astounding, his records stand the test of time. In 1983 he
completed the 105-mile Lakes, Meres and Waters (LMW) route in a
staggering 19hr 14min and to this day, describes it as one of the
best routes he ever ran. High praise indeed and yet, so few know of
it. Part guidebook, part inspirational regaling, this book
interweaves tales of past and present as Naylor reflects on his
1983 epic on a re-walk 37 years later. In the company of
award-winning author, Vivienne Crow, Naylor recalls that magical
day, sharing stories and anecdotes from, not just his run, but the
1980s fell running scene, his working life and growing up in the
Wasdale Valley. Naylor's tales, together with breathtaking
photography, are accompanied by basic guide notes for the LMW
route, sticking as closely to his 1983 run as possible. These notes
divide the route into ten stages (ranging from 9 to 14 miles),
allowing runners and walkers to follow in the footsteps of the King
of the Fells, albeit on a more relaxed schedule. From Loweswater to
Over Water, visiting 27 of the Lake District's largest bodies of
water, the LMW route guarantees vistas of unparalleled beauty and
an unforgettable experience in true fell country.
The book comprises 36 short walking routes between 4 and 14 miles
in Northumberland, England's most sparsely populated county.
Ranging from easy ambles and gentle woodland trails to long days on
the hills, there is something for all types of walker - and all
types of weather. Taking in the beautiful coast with its immense,
empty beaches and dramatic crag-top castles to the remote hills of
the Cheviots and Pennines, the whole county is covered. Most of the
routes are circular, but there are a few linear walks that make use
of local bus services. The landscapes are rich in history,
featuring Hadrian's Wall, Lindisfarne Priory, Bamburgh and
Dunstanburgh castles, and much more. The walks are divided into
five geographical areas: north-east Northumberland, National Park
(north), Kielder, Tyne Valley and National Park (south) and the
North Pennines. Each walk description contains information on
start/finish points, distance covered, total ascent, terrain,
approximate walking time, grade, maps required, transport options,
public toilets and refreshments, and is accompanied by 1:50k OS
mapping. The book also includes a handy route summary table.
Guidebook to 30 of the best walks in Cumbria's Eden Valley. The
graded routes, which range from 3 to 15 miles, explore the region's
diverse landscapes and offer dramatic views, either of the
Pennines, the Lake District or the Scottish hills. The walks, which
work well from bases such as Kirkby Steven, Dufton and Appleby, are
predominantly circular. Some of the linear routes link with the
Settle-Carlisle railway. Map extracts from the 1:50K OS Landranger
series accompany route description, and the handy route summary
table makes it easy for walkers to compare routes. Invaluable
information on transport and accommodation is included, as are
notes on the region's geology, wildlife and history. Situated next
to the iconic Lake District, the Eden Valley is often overlooked as
a walking destination. This works in its favour - it is as quiet as
it is scenic - making it the perfect destination for those looking
to escape the crowds. The featured routes are designed to give the
walker a taste of everything the area has to offer. From peaceful
woodland strolls to serious moorland hikes, and from explorations
of the limestone uplands to walks on the Solway marshes, they visit
just about every nook and cranny in the valley.
