The Meaning of Geese is a book of thrilling encounters with
wildlife, of tired legs, punctured tyres and inhospitable weather.
Above all, it is the story of Nick Acheson's love for the land in
which he was born and raised, and for the wild geese that fill it
with sound and spectacle every winter. Renowned naturalist and
conservationist Nick Acheson spent countless hours observing and
researching wild geese, transported through all weathers by his
mother's 40-year-old trusty red bicycle. He meticulously details
the geese's arrival, observing what they mean to his beloved
Norfolk and the role they play in local people's lives - and what
role the birds could play in our changing world. During a time when
many people faced the prospect of little work or human contact,
Nick followed the pinkfeet and brent geese that filled the Norfolk
skies and landscape as they flew in from Iceland and Siberia. In
their flocks, Nick encountered rarer geese, including Russian
white-fronts, barnacle geese and an extremely unusual grey-bellied
brant, a bird he had dreamt of seeing since thumbing his mother's
copy of Peter Scott's field guide as a child. To honour the geese's
great athletic migrations, Nick kept a diary of his sightings as
well as the stories he discovered through the community of people,
past and present, who loved them, too. Over seven months Nick
cycles over 1,200 miles - the exact length of the pinkfeet's
migration to Iceland.

Ground Up has joined forces in 2010 with Peak District climbing
stalwart, Mark 'Zippy' Pretty to produce a rock climbing
supplement: "Recent Developments on Peak Limestone". Activity on
the Peak limestone crags continues apace, with numerous new routes
being produced by a small but dedicated cohort of activists. There
has also been much re-equipping work and rationalising of neglected
routes in recent times. This supplement documents these changes and
gives details of the new routes with a deliberate emphasis on
clip-ups of F7a and above. It follows in the tradition of previous
"Recent Developments" supplements dating back to the classic Steve
Bancroft supplement published in 1977. It includes full colour
topos showing the new lines on the intensely developed Raven Tor.
There are also a couple of graded lists - an expression of the
current consensus on relative standards of difficulty in the Peak
sport climbing scene. Jon Fullwood has written a very useful
bolting best practice article and a number of excellent action
photographs have been supplied by top climbing photographers: Keith
Sharples, Ian Parnell, Stu Littlefair and Adam Long.
