Short Walks in Lakeland Book 2: North Lakeland by Aileen Evans

This guidebook of 57 short walks in the Lake District is the second in the Short Walks in Lakeland trilogy, covering the entire Lake District. This guidebook divides the north Lakeland region into six sections: Borrowdale, the Northern Fells, Thirlmere, Newlands and the northwest, Patterdale and Ullswater, and the Eastern Fells and Dales. The guide comprises 57 walks, generally between 4 and 8 miles, enough to fill a good half day or provide a leisurely full day, and ideal for day visitors or family walkers. It is not a high fell walking guide, although many worthwhile summits are included. Priority is given to the lower fells and dales. Interesting features are pointed out along the way, and the hand-drawn maps include relevant walk details. The combination of detailed description and clear, easy-to-follow maps and evocative sketches makes this book ideal for anyone who wants to explore Lakeland.

Brian and Aileen Evans, both now retired, have enjoyed a lifetime's love of the outdoors. They have climbed, walked, skied and camped in many parts of Europe and North America, yet always returns to the Lake District, which has a special place in their affections. They have both always enjoyed adventure sports including pot-holing, wild-water canoeing, skiing and alpine mountaineering. They still particularly enjoy rock climbing in all its forms, from long adventurous climbs where route-finding skills are necessary to single-pitch bolted sports climbs in the Mediterranean sun. At home in Lancashire with their collie, Meg, they enjoy painting, gardening and planning the next adventurous trip.
