The Outlying Fells

The 'Outlying Fells' is another pictorial guide book written by Alfred Wainwright, describing the lesser fells around the perimeter of the Lake District. He describes them as "primarily for old age pensioners and others who can no longer climb high fell, but can still, within reason, potter about on the short and easy slopes and summits of the foothills". There are a total of 110 summits described in a series of 56 walks. To date we have climbed 3 of these summits.
