'Scrambles in the Lake District' (South) Guidebook - Multi / One Size
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. 126 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.
