Mark Richards, author of the Fellranger series and avid beer drinker

An outdoors publisher is urging walkers to raise a glass to celebrate the completion of a set of its guidebooks.

Cumbria-based Cicerone has teamed up with Dent Brewery to produce a special ale and is offering free books to mark the final volume of Mark Richards’ Fellranger series.

The limited-edition beer will be available during July and August.

A Cicerone spokesperson said: “Author Mark Richards is an avid beer drinker, and enjoys nothing more than a day on the fells, followed by a refreshing post-walk pint.

“So what could be better than to finish off a great day on the hill with a pint of Fellranger?

“For a little extra fun, Cicerone will be giving away a Fellranger guidebook every single day the beer is available.”

Walkers need to buy a pint of Fellranger from one of the pubs selling the beer. They should then take a picture of themselves or their group enjoying their pint of Fellranger, with either the pump clip or a Fellranger beer mat included.

Fellranger Ale will be on sale this month and next

They should then either upload the picture to the Cicerone group on Flickr with the tag Fellranger or, if they don’t have a Flickr account, email the photo to the publisher.

Cicerone asks that file size should not exceed 1MB, but said there is no limit to the number of pictures beer-loving walkers can upload.
