Description

Over the years the number of visitors to the Lake District has grown greatly and also the use and reliance, by many, on cars.

The Eden Valley Mountaineering Club is based in Penrith and the Eden Valley, and at the AGM at the end of 2022 Robin Illingworth, a member of the Club, put out the idea of the Club collectively ascending all the Wainwrights without the use of a car during 2023. This challenge was duly taken up and members made their ways by bus, train, boat, bike and foot during the year to ascend the 214 fells detailed in the pictorial guidebooks of Alfred Wainwright.  Details of the ascents were recorded on the Club website and details of the various routes taken were on a special Facebook page.

This then inspired this book which may used as a reference book to inspire and help plan trips out onto the fells. It emphasises the pleasure and benefits of getting to know about Lake District fells to enhance days out and also planning any trips so also helping to safeguard those trips. It is not meant as a walking guide to the fells (plenty guides already !) but as a guide to using public transport to access the fells.

'We think this book would have AW’s full approval.'
