The Lake District Directory From walkthefells.net

 

I’ve always maintained that the Lake District has much more to offer than the fell tops themselves. So, with this in mind, I have created a Lake District Directory in the website, the main aim of which is to offer a photographic insight, not only into the more popular places, but also the more obscure, which are found in out of the way areas normally reserved for the eyes of the more inquisitive fell walker.

In addition to the photographs, all items have a location map, and many also include additional information such as their history. The unique feature, however, is the link back to the walking section of the site, where you have a choice of walks which include the location at some point along the route. Most important of all, is that these are all real, documented walks actually done by the person offering the information.

Fells information updates

 

An  ongoing project I have is to expand on the information I have for each of the fells listed on the website. All the location maps have been updated and more recent pictures are now on  display. Now I want to devote some time to adding text, and also to offer some route suggestions.

I don't pretend to be able to offer anything new, because everything you can possibly think of will already have been written about the fells and their many routes. What I can do, is put across my viewpoint and make suggestions based on my own experiences and extensive time spent out on the fells.
