The e-book includes detailed descriptions of 7 walks (the original hardback only had 6), plus links to GPS files for all of them. Walk 1: Shores of the great lake Along the west shore of Coniston Water Walk 2A: Ash Gill Beck My nomination for Swallowdale (as good as any of the others) Walk 2: Coniston Old Man (Kanchenjunga) A bit of real exploration, with a mountaineering flavour Walk 3: High Greenland Bethecar Moor and the east side of Coniston – it might be the Swallowdale moors too Walk 4: High Topps Over Yewdale Fells Walk 5: Swallowdale (Maybe) A short walk on Blawith Fells Walk 6: Signalling to Mars and Tickling Trout Explorations east of Windermere, in the area where AR lived when writing Swallows and Amazons and most of the other books Walk 7: Final steps A loop from Newby Bridge, a bit weak on specific locations but very strong on atmosphere – possibly including steam trains!
