5 out of 5 stars So many reasons to buy!   May 17, 2005
 14 out of 16 found this review helpful

This is the 5th book of a series of 7 which were written between 1956 and 1965. The series covers the entire Lake District. This book covers the area north of Keswick and includes Skiddaw, Blencathra and the Caldbeck Fells.
My reasons for recommending the book are as follows:
1. The author is an expert. He has covered the ground, and the information in the book is a small selection of his total knowledge.
2. The guide is accurate. Minor changes have of course happened in the 40 plus years since publication, such as the disappearance of the railway. But the fells are the same. If Wainwright shows a safe route it can be relied on.
3. The author loves the area. He wrote the books initially for himself as a tribute to the hills. His appreciation shines through and is infective.
4. The author is a master draughtsman. The books are hand-written, but you would not initially realise this as the allignments appear perfect. There is joy in just browsing the book for its own sake.
5. The area deserves to be known. I have climbed most of these fells, and each one was a great experience - even Mungrisedale Common. Armed with this book and a little fitness and common sense you can become a mountaineer. The guide will direct you to easy but beautiful climbs (such as Latrigg) and to more strenuous and exciting routes such as Sharp Edge
In conclusion I have used these books for 30 years and they have led me to hours of healthy enjoyment of the fells
