Description
The English section of the Nuttall list.
Nuttalls are defined summits over 2000 feet in England and Wales. This volume covers England, while Wales has its own volume in the series. The authors are the ones who established the list, and the book combines an overall overview of the mountains with concrete routes that make it possible to visit them through various hikes and combinations.
Sixty routes to two hundred and fifty-four summits.
The selection includes the Lake District, Cheviots, North Pennines, Yorkshire Dales, Peak District, and Dartmoor, among others. Several hikes link together a group of summits in a single day. This makes the book of interest both to those following the list and to hikers seeking a wider range of mountain circuits in areas they already know or plan to visit.
Maps, diagrams, and detailed descriptions.
The route information is supported by maps and illustrations that make it easier to understand how the summits and connections relate to one another. Practical information helps when choosing a starting point and planning the hike. The book therefore works as a comprehensive reference across several hiking seasons, not just a small collection of recommended outings for one particular base or a single holiday week.
For independent hikers with mountain experience.
The different mountain areas place different demands on navigation, route-finding, and assessment of terrain. Some hikes are long and remote, and weather can make them more demanding. The guide is best suited to readers who can actively use maps and descriptions and choose routes according to experience and conditions, rather than assuming that all summits on the same height list carry a similar level of difficulty.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher grew out of a community of climbers and mountain people wanting to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still shapes the publisher’s books on hiking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
