The Southern Fells (Walkers Edition): Wainwright's Walking Guide to the Lake District Fells Book 4 (4) (Wainwright Walkers Edition)

Great update on original and retains what we all love about Wainright. Would recommend to novice and experienced walkers alike.

Bought for my son and his wife to take on holiday with them in the Lakes. They liked thIs updated version of Wainwright’s original books. It is a handy size and intended to be taken out on walks with the routes clearly delineated as well as level of difficulty, estimated times etc.

The classic Wainwright "The Southern Fells" brought fully up to date. Clive Hutchby has done a good job of updating things where changes have occurred since Chris Jesty's previous and substantial revisions. Mr Hutchby has introduced additional snippets of relevant and useful information for the fell-walker where appropriate, (occasionally requiring slight changes to AW's original page layouts), and footpath routes have been made much clearer on the maps & sketches. - The red lines introduced in Chris Jesty's revision are made thicker and more clearly defined, and are now denoted in three styles to better differentiate between "good", "intermittent", and "sketchy" paths. It goes without saying that the major part of the book remains fairly and squarely the work of AW himself, to whom every fell-walker owes a debt of much gratitude. Whilst the original Wainwright's are still available, and should be a part of every Lakeland fell-walker's library, these latest revisions, as and when they become available, are the ones that should now be carried whenever we are out on the fells.

Every fell walker should have one of these. You gain so much valuable information to help you plan your walk. Especially helpful to decide on which route is best for you and your ability.

Fantastic set of books, will come in handy out on the fells, great updated version

A great quality product, came on time well packaged and just what we wanted

Excellent walkers guide

I must have missed the description. This is not a hardback. The spine doesn't seem as flexible as my old hardback copies. Everything else is fine and the content is present. Just not as easy for me to use.
