With over 22 thousand feet of ascent in 105 miles, setting out from Settle, taking in some of the classic summits of the North Yorkshire Dales, Howgills and Eastern and Northern Lakeland Fells. The walk ends at Carlisle but your travels continue by returning to Settle on England’s most scenic railway

This 8-day hill walk takes in the summits of Ingleborough, Whernside, Great Coum, before moving on to the Howgills including The Calf, with routes over less known ridges into the Eastern Lakeland Fells. On this section of the guide, the walk take in Haweswater Head, High Street, Sheffield Pike, as well as the Dodds, Blencathra, Bowscale Fell and High Pike of the Northern Fells.

The Author, Hugh Stewart, takes you through each walk – there are eight one for each day – with maps and route descriptions and his own anecdotes.  Illustrated with photographs by the author and other walkers, the book includes additional information such as points of interest both geological and historical.

This is a new route that covers not only sections of classic routes but also visits less known areas of this beautiful and at times remote part of the British Isles.

Ideal for confident and experienced walkers
