Cicerone Book of the Month

Spring is finally here (we hope), everyone is planning trips to their favourite walking areas… and the Lake District is always a favourite! So how can you make plans to avoid the crowds? You can easily avoid the known ‘honeypots’, but finding those less well-trodden paths can be more of a problem. Help is at hand!

Welcome to the Lakeland Fellranger series!

Meeting the needs of today’s fell walker. A comprehensive range of up-to-date guide books to every path, crag, fell and valley in the Lake District. Each guide is illustrated with detailed drawings, HARVEY mapping, panoramas and photographs. Together, the books provide a truly comprehensive coverage of the Lake District fells for the modern fell walker.

Don’t take our word for it though – just look at some of the pages from the books and you can see how easy it is to use the guides to plan your routes, but with far more knowledge of the terrain at your finger-tips than you will ever get from just using a map on its own.

The Fellranger guides:

The Central Fells
The Near Eastern Fells
The Southern Fells
The Mid Western Fells

These final four guides in the set will become available during the next three years:

The Western Fells
The North Western Fells
The Northern Fells
The Far Eastern Fells

Cicerone are currently offering a ‘Trade up to the new Fellrangers at half price’ promotion for anyone with copies of the old Fellranger books published by Collins. See their website for details.

If you are looking for some great days out in the high fells of the Lake District, you might also like to look at Mark Richards’ inspirational new book Great Mountain Days in the Lake District.

These books are just about the best and most up to date guides to The Lake District.  Mark has an uncanny knack of bringing the tiniest detail into both his narratives and sketches.  From his earlier (circa 1970) Cotswold Way pen-and-ink to the 2000s use of modern digital mapping and computer-aided publishing Mark has provided countryside companions with the highest standard of detail.  I have admired Mark's work for nearly 40 years, when The Gloucestershire Mountaineering Club encouraged him to share his encyclopaedic knowledge of maps with a wider audience.
