I am really impressed with this beautiful book. This guidebook is beautifully produced with incredible photography throughout, to really inspire you to get out there and bag another Wainwright. Each route also has a table containing estimated number of hours to complete (at different paces) which we found really useful to plan our day. Whichever you choose to do, this is the book to help to achieve your goal.
I really like how the book is split into seven sections (Eastern Fells, Northern Fells, etc). Some people might be planning to complete the Wainwrights as quickly as possible, or - like me - take your time and do them over a number of years. The details for every route are clear and easy to follow, accompanied by practical, comprehensive maps which we found to be very easy to use for navigation.
The only difficulty is deciding which peak to do next!
