Publisher's Synopsis
 
In this beautiful book, while maintaining every walk in the Lake District is a personal favourite, Wainwright has selected 18 fellwalks that give him special pleasure.  They have been described afresh for this book - one of the few Wainwright titles to have a set text instead of being reproduced from negatives taken from his original manuscripts.
Wainwright's evocative descriptions and pithy asides are superbly matched by the wonderful photographs by Derry Brabbs, famous for his illustrations in 'James Herriot's Yorkshire.'  This is a book everyone to enjoy - it is a unique portrait of England's most beautiful mountain scenery for those who love the English countryside in all its moods, are wonderful Momento for those who have 'retired' from fellwalking or who live too far away and will treasure the memories invoked by this book, and the many fortunate people who still have the excitement of the high places before them.
