Atchison's Complete Hills of Britain Volume 2: Northern England
The second of a ten-volume series which will comprehensively include all the major and minor hills across England, Wales and Scotland. If you are looking for a Munro, Corbett, Graham, Marilyn etc, you will find it included on a circular walk in one of the volumes. The book is slightly smaller than an ordinary OS map, and will actually go into most walking jacket pockets (around 1cm thick). Opens out completely flat, easily going into a waterproof map case if need be. Includes 50 double page map spreads with mapping created especially for walkerswhich quickly shows any reader however experienced, the complex terrain of hills and footpaths with ease.
Contains:
50 short walks of around 2 hours (around 6 miles) - and are generally 'around the hills.' They are all superb circular walks with excellent views, ideal if you only have a few hours, or the weather is bad. (Showing pubs, viewpoints etc.)
50 medium walks of around 3-4 hours (up to 12 miles) - usually 'through the hills.' These are classic day walks through impressive scenery, and are ideal for getting fit and burning off the calories.
50 long walks of around 5-7 hours (at least 14 miles, plus ascent) - definitely 'up hills.' These are challenging hill walks that will entertain even the most hardened hill walkers. They usually contain a lot of ascent and descent, and are not to be underestimated. They are ideal for analysing your fitness prior to going on a long distance footpath walk or trek.
