News Lakes Guide Out Now!

Cicerone has launched what promises to be the first two in a series of Lakeland Fellranger guidebooks that promise to be a Wainwright for the 21st Century and they're also running an 'old for new' swap deal for owners of older versions.

The Lakeland Fellranger was originally launched by HarperCollins, but the series has now been taken over by Cicerone with the first two updated volumes out now. The two titles cover the Central Fells and Near Eastern Fells and are written by Mark Richards.

And if the line drawings have a Wainwrightesque feel, that's perhaps not suprising given that Richards was a personal friend of the legendary guidebook writer. We've had a quick flick through and they really do look the business with a good spread of routes, clear maps, nice drawings and lots of evocative Lake District photos to whet the appetite.

New For Old

Because Cicerone appreciates that some owners of the HarperCollins versions may want to build a complete colour-coded library of all eight books, they're running a special offer, where owners of the old books can part exchange them for a half-price copy of the new revised and updated volumes.

All they have to do is download an order form from the Cicerone web site and send it, along with their old book direct to Cicerone. They can then buy any one of the first four volumes at half price plus £1 post and packing.

More Information

The first two books retail for £12.95. The next editions cover the The Southern Fells and the Mid-Western Fells and are due out in February 2009.
