It’s like having a guide by your side
	Home Welcome to Gentle Fellwalking in the Lake District – a series of easy-to-follow walking guides which cover all the 214 Wainwrights in manageable bitesize ‘chunks’. They are ‘gentle’ – not because they reduce the length or steepness of the walks! – but because they are based on a gentle pace, aim to finish at a pub or café wherever possible, and try to be gentle on the environment by making use of public transport wherever feasible. Each guide is based on one of 8 popular towns or villages around the Lake District, in order to keep car travel to a minimum. They contain 6 walks (usually between 5 and 10 miles), are a convenient pocket-size, and are printed on water-resistant paper. They cost £4.50 each. As well as being available via mail order, these guides are on sale in Keswick in the Moot Hall and at Bookends. If you have limited fell walking experience, or are put off by the idea of mountain walks covering 10 – 15 miles in one day, or sometimes have difficulty in finding your way about on the mountains - then these are definitely the guides for you.
