to the most iconic, spectacular and popular long-distance trails in
England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland and the Isle of
Man. The twenty-five featured routes will take you across the best
of the British Isles. From the South Downs Way in South-East

including a general overview of the trails, specific technical
information, overview mapping, key information and stunning
photography. As well as this, each route specifies approximate
timings devised using the Jones-Ross formula, which allows for
custom itineraries to be generated depending upon the speed of the
user. Whether you're walking, trekking, fastpacking or running, let
Big Trails: Great Britain & Ireland be your guide.
How can you pack all the camping gear and clothing needed for two
people on a motorcycle? At first, it may seem impossible but it is
easier than you think-if you do your homework. You must learn how
to acquire the right gear, how to pack it, and how to use it at
your campsite.
"Lightweight Camping for Motorcycle Travel" provides the
information and suggestions you will need to buy the right
clothing, tents, sleeping bags, tools, lights, cookware, and other
camping gear. It describes how to set up comfortable campsites, use
ropes and knots, cook great tasting meals, stay dry in stormy
weather, stay warm on cool nights, and prolong the life of your
gear.
Once you take a few trips and master the necessary skills, you
will enjoy many pleasures you could never experience in an
expensive motel room. You will enjoy breathing fresh air and
smelling food cooking at the campground. You will enjoy walking on
scenic trails and relaxing at your campsite. In the evening, you
will enjoy sitting by a warm campfire, listening to an owl, and
occasionally hearing a gentle rain falling on your tent.

This popular guidebook by expert Kev Reynolds describes 100 day
walks focusing on the mountain huts of the Alps. With walks in
France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and Slovenia, there are routes
to suit every taste - from gentle and undemanding to long and
tough, as well as all varieties of difficulty in between. What they
have in common is a visit to a hut, each with its own character.
Some walks are perfect for lunch at a hut before a return to the
valley base, others involve an overnight stay at a hut. In a few
cases, a short hut-to-hut tour is suggested. The routes are grouped
by country and by specific Alpine district. Most of the routes
avoid any climbing of a technical nature, beyond the odd scramble
aided by a fixed rope. Notes on hut etiquette, what to take and an
English-French-German-Italian glossary are also included to help
trekkers get the most out of their time in the Alps.
From mastering your technique and setting your pace to walking in different climates and terrains, this practical guide has everything you need to transform your health and fitness. Get moving with step-by-step introductions to new ways to walk and do it right with science-backed training programmes for all levels.

Forget hurrying. Forget putting your foot down and racing through sweeping bends. Forget the understeer (whatever that is). Forget the blur of a life lived too fast. This is a look at taking life slowly. It's about taking the time to enjoy journeys and places for their own sake. It's about stopping and putting the kettle on. Stopping to take a picture. Stopping to enjoy stopping.
How are you going to do it? In a camper van or a motorhome, of course.
In this book we define the best driving routes around England and Wales for camper vans and motorhomes. We show you the coolest places to stay, what to see, what to do and explain why it's special. We meander around England and Wales on the most breathtaking roads, chugging up mountain passes and pootling along the coast. We show you stuff that's fun, often free. We include the best drives for different kinds of drivers; for surfers, wildlife watchers, climbers and walkers. We include the steepest, the bendiest, those with the most interesting bridges or views or obstacles, ferries and tidal causeways. And you don't even have to own a camper van or motorhome – we'll tell you the many places you can rent one to take you on the journey.
All of this is interspersed with beautiful photos, handy maps and quirky travel writing from the king of camper vans and motorhomes, Martin Dorey. So if all you want to do is flick through it on a cold day and plan your next outing, you'll be transported (albeit slowly) to pastures, beaches, mountains and highways that make you want to turn the key and go, go, go!

This is the long-awaited brand new edition of what was the first
guidebook to this classic walk since the Wainwright original. The
Coast to Coast Walk has enjoyed a greater surge in popularity since
recent TV exposure, and remains Britain's favourite long-distance
walk. Savour 192 glorious miles from St Bees on the Cumbrian Coast
to Robin Hood's Bay on the Yorkshire Coast, passing through the
unparalleled grandeur of three National Parks. The Lake District,
Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors provide an endless array of
attractions, and together create what can be the walk of a
lifetime. After a re-survey of the entire route in Spring 2010, a
wealth of changes and improvements to an already well-used guide
sees the Hannon version return to the top of the pile. Re-drawn
colour maps make the book even easier to use in the field, while a
stunning collection of more than 100 full colour photographs depict
the countless memorable features and landscapes along the way. The
book has been extended by 16 further pages to improve the layout
and content. As always, concise route descriptions are complemented
by a veritable wealth of background information, along with an
extensive introductory section dealing with planning the walk,
including useful addresses, contacts and essential services; also
an extremely useful log section.
On eight treks in Nepal's Himalaya; to Kanchenjunga, Manaslu,
Annapurna, Everest, Langtang, Dolpo, Api and Mugu, the true spirit
of trekking is captured in Kev Reynolds' reverence, curiosity and
ongoing love of the world's greatest mountain range. The Himalaya
are no ordinary mountains. Stretching through five countries and
dwarfing all others, they have captured the imaginations of
travellers and mountain lovers for centuries. While some seek to
reach their snowy heights, many more step out onto winding and
climbing trails to trek through the heart of the mountains, and
live - if only for a little while - the life of an adventurer. The
first time a trail is explored offers unknown beauty and fresh
experience around every turn. This is Kev Reynolds' collection of
eight such discoveries along popular trails and into lands
previously locked away. Brought to life in vivid style, Reynolds
evokes the scent of fragrant rhododendron jungles and travelling
past terraced fields, hillside villages and ancient temples. Then
exploring into hidden valleys beyond the reach of civilization, and
on to towering, ice-locked peaks that scratch the sky. All proceeds
from sales of this book will be donated to the Nepal Earthquake
Appeal.
