More experienced runners can challenge themselves on bigger and longer excursions to Fairfield and above Troutbeck.Features clear and easy-to-use Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 maps, easy-to-follow directions, details of distance and timings, refreshment stops and local knowledge, and a detailed appendix.
