Jagged Lakes Publishing Wainwrights Without A Car: A Year on the Lake District Fells

This publication gives comprehensive details to assist in ascending the 214 Wainwright summits in the Lake District without using the car. The core of the book is about public transport in the Lake District but linked to the ascents of the Wainwrights during 2023 with details about the summits and transport as well as tales about those ascents. In addition there are chapters giving more information in particular about those bus, train and boat services and the geography of the area as well as places of interest. There are stunning photographs of the area throughout the book. This book should be used in combination with other information such as guidebooks and maps as well as on the internet to plan visits and walks in the area. This will help to not only enhance a visit but also, with that knowledge, make it safer. The use of the car is often the only practical way of getting around however this book gives lots of ideas and information to leave the car and use public transport. This will not only help to reduce congestion on the roads and also one?s carbon footprint but also open up lots of ideas when one does not have to return to the car. This book will be of particular interest to those accessing the area by public transport from elsewhere for example by the rail service from London and the South of England. Ron Kenyon is a Cumbrian born and bred and has used his extensive knowledge of the Lake District to bring this important book together. One third of the net income from the book is going to be given to the Fix the Fells organisation, which helps to maintain the footpaths of the area. The bulk of the rest of the net income will go to other local organisations. Autorid: Ron Kenyon
