Lake District Fells - Buttermere walking guide Cicerone Cicerone | 9781786310361

Part of the Walking the Lake District Fells series, this guidebook covers a wide range of routes to 32 Lakeland summits that can be climbed from the Buttermere, Lorton and Newlands valleys, with highlights including Haystacks, High Stile, Grasmoor and the fells of the Coledale Round. Suggestions for longer ridge routes are also included. Seasons: Suitable all-year round, but winter walking, even on the lower fells, is not for the inexperienced or under-equipped. Centres: Keswick, Grange-in-Borrowdale, Rosthwaite, Seatoller, Buttermere, High Lorton, Cockermouth, Braithwaite and Stair. Difficulty: Straightforward, short ascents, often not on clear paths, to be used as a basis for readers' own circuits. Navigational skills needed but no specialist equipment. Any scrambling is easy and non-scrambling options are always provided. Must See: Borrowdale, Buttermere and Bassenthwaite; Captivating Catbells, mighty Grasmoor, enticing Causey Pike and invigorating Grisedale Pike, handsome Hindscarth and bold Robinson; a succession of fine airy ridges and craggy little heights.
