Bob Allen (1) (1932–)

Based on the intriguing map that Peter Linney produced (for "The Official Wainwright Gazetteer") of all the fells and routes of ascent described by Wainwright in his seven "Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells", Bob Allen has mapped 27 high-level walks in the eastern half of the Lake District (covering books 1-3 of the "Pictorial Guides"). Each walk is described by Bob Allen and made all the more entertaining by his inclusion of comments direct from Wainwright. Each walk is illustrated show more with Bob's photographs, and Peter Linney has produced the maps, gradient diagrams and specifications of time, height gained, etc. show less

This text follows a seven-day walk through some of England's most beautiful scenery, taking in Wensleydale, Whitsundale and Swaledale, with high-level and low-level variations. There are also circular one day walks along the route.

This work contains a collection of walks within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the Howgill Fells and Nidderdale. The text includes information ranging from compass bearings to where to find refreshment places. Each walk is rated for overall quality and is accompanied by a clear map.

Covering a variety of walks, ranging from the strenuous for the experienced fellwalker to short, easy walks for the family, this book contains 47 walks.
