''THE LAKELAND ONE HUNDRED'' With its breathtaking vistas, stunning variety of walks and ease of accessibility, the Lake District is one of Britain's most sought-after havens of adventure and enjoyment. 'The Lakeland One Hundred' is a celebration of this walker's paradise, featuring clear and detailed access trails to its most spectacular and challenging monuments - the one hundred highest peaks. The book is divided into 21 circular walks of between 4 and 12 miles in length. Each walk provides the most enjoyable and economical route to the highest points in the Lake District, with almost half beginning at relatively remote sites where the peace and tranquility of the region can be appreciated to the full. Every chapter contains a route summary giving details of distance and duration and the relevant Ordnance Survey map reference, together with a brief assessment of the level of difficulty encountered. A unique feature of this book is the provision of full-colour computer drawn maps for each walk. Accompanied by point-to-point route directions and an array of stunning colour photographs, these elements ensure that thorough pre-planning can take place in the comfort of your own home before your journey of discovery begins. From the rugged and spectacular Scafell Massif and the sweeping valley of Borrowdale, to marvellous Dale Head overlooking the secluded Newlands Valley, this is one walking book that will inspire you to explore the dramatic scenery and natural beauty of one of Britain's most cherished landscapes.
