It’s like having a guide by your side
	Guides The first of these guides - KESWICK 1 – is now available, and contains six walks which cover the following ‘Wainwrights’:
	A Skiddaw/Ullock Pike/Long Side/Carl Side B Skiddaw Little Man/Lonscale Fell/Latrigg C Dale Head/High Spy/Maiden Moor/Catbells D Bowscale Fell/Bannerdale Crags/Souther Fell E Barrow/Outerside F Robinson/Hindscarth	6 miles 9 miles (6 if you cheat!) 7 miles 9 miles 5 miles 7 miles
	The main features of the guides are all linked to one objective – to help those with limited experience/ fitness/ time to complete some/ all of the 214 ‘Wainwrights’ in the Lake District. The main features include: · Clear, precise and easy-to-follow directions · Realistic timings, based on a gentle pace – with ‘Estimated Times of Arrival’ for each stage, and built-in rest times · Escape routes indicated (where they exist) – in case the weather deteriorates, or you find that you have fallen significantly behind the ETAs given in the guide · Approximate compass bearings are given where there are significant changes of direction, or where there are several paths to choose from – in case visibility worsens, and to help improve basic navigation skills In addition, photographs, with direction arrows, are included to show where to go when the route on the ground isn’t always clear or straightforward: From: KESWICK 1 – D. The Bannerdale Horseshoe. 6. …….- the path then veers to the L. to the Glenderamachin col. Go round, then take the FIRST faint grassy path to the L. (175^0): Photos are also given to confirm that you’ve arrived at the correct place, giving that extra feeling of confidence (either for you or those in your group!) that you’re not lost: From: KESWICK 1 – B. Skiddaw Little Man: 4. ……On reaching the fence, the path comes to a gate and stile – arrowed & signed: ‘Skiddaw Summit’. ETA: 12.45 Take a 5 min. break. 5. Don’t go through the fence/gate – instead go L. (284^0) from the main path, away from the fence, to go up – quite steeply – on the clear path ahead:
