The Southern Fells
Wainwright notes that such anticipation surrounded the release of the Southern Fells that he was asked to release it (Book 4) before the Central Fells (Book 3). Being a man who sticks to his plans, he steadfastly refused, of course.
But it's easy to see why people wanted this book - just look at the fells it contains - Bowfell, Crinkle Crags, Scafell Pike, Scafell - these alone make the book worth having. Undoubtedly, this is an area where one could spend a lifetime and never get bored.
I've listed below all of the fells that Wainwright classified as belonging to the Southern Fells, together with notes detailing visits I have made to them. Some fells have pages of their own - click on any of the fell names that have links to visit these...
This page is a work in progress. As fells are visited, climbed and photographed, they will be added.
