Scrambles in the Lake District Volume 1: Southern Lakes

Brian Evans
£12.00

The Lake District's rich mix of rocks, gills and crags offers the scrambler a complex variety of routes, often well removed from the beaten track. Scrambling - climbing rock that is not usually difficult or steep enough for its ascent to warrent the term 'rock climbing' - is a way of getting back to a wilder Lakeland and enjoying the freedom of rough mountain country.

Slate From Coniston

Alastair Cameron
£13.99

Second impression. A history of the Coniston slate industry, although the author makes no apologies for the fact that he occasionally strays from the topic of 'slate' to one of the village in general. The history of the industry is inseparable from the history of the village. The culture and personality of the village is as unique as the volcanic slate extracted from its hills.

Tarns of the Fells: Celebrating Cumbria's Mountain Landscapes

Martin Varley (ed)
£4.95

Cumbria has more tarns and small pools than most other counties in England and yet these special places are often overlooked in favour of the more well-known areas. Although tarns are synonymous with the Lake District, they occur across Cumbria and this book celebrates these areas of open water and the diversity of life which they possess.
