Ridge Maps

In his best-selling pictorial guides to the Lakes, Alfred Wainwright described 214 individual fells and, ever since the guides were published, many people have made climbing them all a goal. When I first started work on my attempt at this feat, I plotted each of his summits on a map before drawing in the ridges. The result was an invaluable tool for planning an assault on the Wainwrights. I have now made all seven maps available for other people to use. If you find any errors in the maps, please do let me know and I will update them.

The Wainwright Pictorial Guides have recently been reissued under a new publisher. Click on any of the images below to order them from Amazon. They are still the definitive guide to the mountains of Lakeland and are works of art in their own right.
