Book description

The almanac divides the 541 fells into six geographical areas and gives details of 129 circular walks that take in all the tops. Each group of fells has a map and gives information on suggested bases and suitable accommodation. Walks are then described, which collectively cover routes to all the tops within a group. For each walk, the tops are listed in order of arrival, with their height and grid reference, the O.S. map(s) required, the access point, distance and ascent involved, with an approximate time given for completion. Any known access problems are also included.

The route descriptions are summaries of the author’s opinion as to the best way to tackle all 541 tops and he has completed all of them! It should be noted that the route descriptions are not comprehensive, and the Almanac should be used in conjunction with the O.S. map for the area.

This Almanac is small, easy to use and carry in a pocket or rucksack, and is highly informative.
