Summary: An excellent walking guide
Comment: I've been a Lakeland enthusiast for quite a number of years, but it was only on my most recent trip that I was in a bookshop and noticed seven little white books... everywhere. I didn't really think much of it, until I was bought one for my birthday - book seven. It had the Great Gable walk in it, a mountain which I still haven't found the time to climb, but I'll get round to it.I read it from cover to cover - unusual, considering it's a guidebook, and was immediately hooked. Wainwright has classified and categorised the Lake District so perfectly and so completely that if you have walked the paths he describes, you can almost see the views in your mind as you read the books. They are all lovingly and painstakingly produced - the hours he must have spent poring over maps and trespassing over various farmers' fields! Wainwright himself said that they were 'love letters' to the Lake District.
An absolute must-have series for anyone who likes to wander around the fells.
