 Adequate but not inspired November 19, 2006

I've had my Collins Rambler guide to the Lake District for a couple of years now and I've done quite a few of the walks in it and found it to be a commendable guide to the lakes, especially for someone who doesn't know the area very well. The walks are clearly defined, maps are adequate (but a proper map and compass are still sdvissble), information is clear and points out areas of interest and there is a rudimentary grading system to indicate the level of proficiency/fitness required to tackle each walk. Also important is the rainproof cover so your book shouldn't get too soggy on rainy days in the hills. My only criticism is that some of the routes shown seem rather odd as they do not follow what I would regard as the most rewarding routes. The Kentmere Horseshoe walk is a good example as this guide begins and ends the walk in Mardale thus starting the walk with a fairly fierce trudge uphill over very broken ground only to lose most of the acquired height soon after before going sharply up again, then ending the walk with a rotten trudge back down to Mardale. Other routes seem unnecessarily drawn out and do not indicate ways of cutting walks short in the event of bad weather or injury (hence the need for another map). As such I feel I can only give this otherwise fine guide 4 stars.

Over the past year I have used the Collins Ramblers guides for the Lake District, North Wales, Peak District, Ben Nevis and Glen Coe and others to choose day trip to the mountains and hills of Britain. They are fabulous books, well presented with full details and maps and as an added and very special bonus they contain the history and myths of the areas which always add an extra touch to each walk! Definitely recommended!
