The second of a two-volume set of guides to scrambles in the Lake District. The set are based on `Scrambles in the Lake District` and `More Scrambles in the Lake District`, two of the original scrambling guides to the Lake District by one of Britain`s best-known climbers. Continually reprinted for 20 years these guides have now been fully updated and merged into two definitive guides, for southern and northern Lakes. (For details of `Scrambles in the Lake District South`, see below.) The Lake District`s rich mix of rocks, gills and crags offers the scrambler a complex variety of routes, often well removed from the beaten track. Scrambling - ascending rock that is not usually difficult or steep enough to warrant the term `rock climbing` - means you often hardly touch a path and rarely see other people at close quarters. This is a way of getting back to a wilder Lakeland and enjoying the freedom of rough mountain country. - Covers Wasdale, Ennerdale and Buttermere, Borrowdale, Thirlmere, Patterdale, Mardale and Swindale.
- 110 scramble routes graded 1 to 4.
- Advice on how to approach scrambling safely and with confidence.
- Overview maps as well as sketch diagrams of the crags and routes.
- Introductions to each area mentioned, indicating the type of rock and any recommendations.
- Information on the approach, character, grade and route of each scramble.
Scrambles vol 1 (Southern Lakes) covers Langdale, Coniston, Duddon, Eskdale, Longsleddale and Kentmere.
