This complete paperback box set brings all seven guides together, covering every major fell range from Skiddaw to Scafell Pike. Beloved by generations of walkers, it remains the definitive companion for planning routes, whether lacing up boots for the first time or revisiting familiar summits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach volume focuses on a distinct region of the Lake District, together forming a complete picture of the fells. The Eastern Fells opens the series with Helvellyn and the ridges above Ullswater, while The Far Eastern Fells continues down towards Windermere. The Central Fells take in the Langdale Pikes and Borrowdale, and The Southern Fells cover the highest ground, including Scafell Pike itself. The Northern Fells range across quieter country around Skiddaw and Blencathra, while The North Western Fells and The Western Fells explore ridge walks and lakes such as Buttermere and Crummock Water. Every book contains Wainwright's hand-lettered text, his famous three-dimensional ascent drawings, and route notes for walkers of every ability. First published between 1955 and 1966, the guides were later factually revised to reflect changes in paths and access, while preserving Wainwright's voice throughout. Reading one feels less like consulting a reference book and more like walking alongside the author, as he points out a view or a favourite resting spot. As a set, the seven volumes give walkers a single, comprehensive resource covering the whole fell country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete seven-volume set covering every major Lakeland fell range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWainwright's original hand-drawn maps and ascent illustrations throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed, practical route notes suitable for walkers of all abilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA classic, collectible edition of one of Britain's best-loved outdoor writing series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal gift for hikers, ramblers and Lake District enthusiasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact paperback format, easy to carry on the fell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAlfred Wainwright (1907–1991) was a British fellwalker, guidebook author and illustrator whose seven-volume Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells, written and drawn entirely by hand between 1955 and 1966, remain the definitive walking guides to the Lake District. A meticulous, self-taught cartographer, Wainwright combined precise route information with warm, often witty observations, creating work still followed step by step today. His guides continue to be revised and reprinted for new generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love This Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOwning the full set means every corner of the Lake District fells is covered in one place, in Wainwright's own words and drawings.
