The Finger Lakes and Central New York are not known for rugged mountains and their panoramic vistas which are so commonly sought in the Adirondacks to the north. They hardly could be - the area was scoured clean by glaciers millennia ago. But don't let that fool you, the region is full of natural wonders of its own. Instead of mountains and ridges, the region is known for rolling drumlins, an abundance of scenic gorges, quiet woodlands, beautiful waterfalls and picturesque lakes. Trails included in Five-Star Trails: Finger Lakes and Central New York by Tim Starmer feature a broad mixture of these landscapes and were carefully selected to give the most varied but also rewarding experience when picking a trail. Each trail has been thoroughly researched, recently hiked and includes a detailed description, trail profiles and map. At a glance ratings in important categories such as Scenery, Trail Condition, Difficulty, Solitude and appropriateness for children let you quickly select a trail that fits your tastes and ability. Other useful information such as fees, restrictions for dogs on the trail as well as advice on when to visit offers you the best information so you can plan your trip with ease.

La Gomera is the ultimate get-away-from-it-all island: easy-going, unspoilt, friendly, isolated from the hustle and bustle of modern living, and so laid back it's virtually supine - even the volcanoes have been dormant for millions of years. The walks, however, are a bit more energetic. For the new 4th edition of Walk! La Gomera Charles Davis has teamed up with Jan Kostura. Jan brings his wide experience and passion for the Canaries, checking, re-walking and revising existing routes, and adding a couple of his own adventures, including a new Top Three Gomeran walk. Two routes have been dropped as having become too dangerous, but the good news is that many of the more harum-scarum walks have been improved through path clearing and the addition of railings to the vertiginous stretches. Other good news is that the devastating forest fires of 2012 have proved not nearly as damaging as we feared, leaving most of our itineraries unscathed. In short, there is every reason to take off and explore La Gomera, or to return with this new edition to revive acquaintances and make some new discoveries at the same time. All the trails have been surveyed and mapped using GPS satellite navigation.The authors and their co-walkers have walked all these routes, ensuring accuracy and up to date information for hikers. Clear descriptions guide the walker both to the starting point and throughout the routes, with gradings, distances, timings and altitudes all symbolized, as are vertigo alerts and refreshment possibilities on or at ends of the routes. There are 34 detailed walking adventures with routes ranging from a couple of 90 minute 4 kilometre walks, up to challenging trails taking over 6 hours, covering 20 kilometres including ascents & descents of 1060 metres. Each route includes its own map sections with the route and waypoints clearly marked. Map sections are developed from the La Gomera Tour & Trail Super-Durable Map, the most up to date and toughest map of the island. GPS waypoint files for all the 34 routes are available in three formats as a free zip file download from the Discovery Walking Guides website.

Though it remains by far the world's most famous mountain, in recent years Everest's reputation has changed radically, with long queues of climbers on the Lhotse Face, lurid tales of frozen corpses and piles of high altitude trash. It wasn't always like this though. Once Everest was remote and inaccessible, a mysterious place, where only the bravest and most heroic dared to tread. The first attempt on Everest in 1922 by George Leigh Mallory and a British team is an extraordinary story full of controversy, drama and incident, populated by a set of larger than life characters straight out of Boys Own and Indiana Jones. The expedition ended in tragedy when, on their third bid for the top, Mallory's party was hit by an avalanche that left seven men dead. Using diaries, letters, published and unpublished accounts, Mick Conefrey creates a rich character driven narrative, exploring the motivations and private dramas of key individuals and detailing the back room politics and bitter rivalries that lay behind this epic adventure.

Samuel Johnson famously observed that 'when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life' and no one would deny that the city is an exciting and stimulating place to live, offering a wealth of diversions. However, even old Sam would no doubt agree that sometimes you need a change of scenery - to escape the city's constant hustle and bustle and visit somewhere with a gentler, slower and quieter pace of life. When you yearn for some bracing sea air or wish to commune with nature, experience life in an idyllic village or imagine you're lord of the manor, get up close and personal with some exotic wildlife or treat the kids to an exhilarating day out, London Escapes will point you in the right direction. Containing over 70 great day trips, from historical towns and charming villages to magnificent stately homes and gardens; nostalgic seaside resorts and lovely beaches to spectacular parks and nature reserves - whether you're seeking relaxation or adventure, town of country, ancient or modern, we have the perfect day out for you. A plethora of tour operators offer coach trips to major attractions from London - including some of the destinations featured in this book - or you can travel by private car. However, we believe in letting the 'train take the strain', which is the most relaxing and often the fastest way to travel. All the places highlighted can be reached in under two hours by train (or car) and many in under an hour - usually by direct trains. Travelling by car usually takes longer and you also have the problem and added expense of parking. However, some destinations, particularly those without a direct rail link from London, are easier to reach by car (and one - Woburn Safari Park - is only accessible by car), which also allows you to tour an area and visit nearby attractions at the same time. A good day out deserves a good lunch and London Escapes contains recommendations - historic pubs, relaxing restaurants and cosy cafes - where you can be assured of a tasty meal. Many venues - such as stately homes, gardens and theme parks - also have on-site cafes/restaurants and provide dedicated picnic areas. So, why not escape the city for a day and explore the exciting world just an hour or two from your doorstep? We trust that you will enjoy discovering it as much as we did.
