Brian Evans. It sometimes seems that there are no inviolate places remaining to the adventurer in the Lake District. But this is not quite the case. Scrambling - ascending rock that is not usually difficult or steep enough to warrant the term 'rock climbing' - can take you to many exiting places, many well removed from the beaten track. Even in popular areas of the Lake District, by combining several scrambles you can often hardly touch a path and rarely see other people at close quarters. A good long scramble with interesting route finding gives a very satisfying way of exploring England's Lake District. This guide includes:
- Route notes for 126 graded scrambles in the southern Lake District arranged by area.
- Introductions to each area, indicating the type of rock and any recommendations.
- Information on the approach, character, grade and route of each scramble.
- Area maps and sketch diagrams of the crags and routes.
- Advice on how top approach scrambling safely and with confidence.
