A. Wainwright's legendary "Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells" have been best-sellers for the past fifty years. Now at last, they are being thoroughly revised and updated, with the blessing of the Wainwright Estate. Revised editions of each volume of the "Pictorial Guides" will appear over the next three years: all maps and ascent diagrams updated; paths and route indicators picked out in red for greater clarity; instructions on ascents and ridge routes revised; and, drawings and page layouts with the charm and originality of Wainwright's originals. "The Southern Fells" includes the highest, roughest, grandest fells in Lakeland. Wainwright writes of the 'glorious curves' and 'simple grandeur' of Great Langdale; of Wasdale, 'an emerald amongst sombre hills'; of 'enchanting Borrowdale; of the 'sparkling radiance' of the Duddon; and of the most delectable valley of all - Eskdale, 'sanctuary of peace and solitude'.
