Full Description

GA Guide 2

It is virtually impossible for one person to cover to any reliable depth every part of the Lake District geology even though the whole region is no more than 50 km in diameter. Therefore each of the 25 itineraries within this guide is produced by an expert on the ground. The guide is designed to be used with suitable topographical maps.
