This guidebook is the ideal companion for walkers who want to
explore the western section of Derbyshire's White Peak area.
Starting in towns and villages including Castleton, Ilam, Buxton,
Tideswell, Hartington and Longnor, these day walks are perfectly
suited for year-round trips to the Peak District and are suitable
for walkers of all abilities. Across 40 day walks, this guidebook
offers a range of routes that showcase the best of the Peak
District landscape: rolling green hills rising up to limestone
ridges, deep dales with meandering rivers, and limestone caves and
pinnacles. There is plenty of history to explore too, with many
walks visiting historical sites from Neolithic, medieval and
industrial periods. Most of the walks range between 4 and 9 miles
and can be enjoyed in 2-4 hours walking. As several start from the
same car park or village, many walks can be combined for longer
days out. Each walk features clear OS mapping and detailed route
description interspersed with insights into the area's history,
geology, art and culture, making this a brilliant guide for both
navigation and learning about the Peak District.
The North Downs Way National Trail is a 130 mile (208km) between
the high downland of Farnham and the historic city of Dover on the
Kent coast. The route is described in 11 day stages from west to
east with an optional detour via Canterbury. Step-by-step route
descriptions are fully illustrated with colour photographs and
extracts from OS 1:50,000 mapping for every stage. The guidebook
comes with a separate map booklet of 1:25,000 scale OS maps showing
the full route of the North Downs Way. Clear step-by-step route
descriptions in the guide link together with the map booklet at
each stage along the Way, and the compact format is conveniently
sized for slipping into a jacket pocket or the top of a rucksack.
The North Downs Way is one of the easier national trails with a
modest number of steep (but short) ascents and descents and long
sections with no noticeable height gain or loss. Several historic
sites including Neolithic burial chambers, Roman roads and Norman
churches are passed and much of the route follows The Pilgrims'
Way.
Wiltshire is a walker's paradise with many unexpected delights.

route descriptions of the 100 walks. Full-colour mapping is
included which is sourced from the Ordnance Survey. Details of
where to park and where to eat and drink are included and also
places of interest to see along the way.
To everyone who truly loves the game, Mickey Mantle epitomizes
the golden age of baseball, when the mighty New York Yankees
indisputably ruled, appearing in an unprecedented twelve World
Series in fourteen years! In this intimate memoir, Mantle recounts
the joys and trials of his rise from rural Oklahoma youngster to
the pinnacle of baseball greatness.
In "All My Octobers," the one and only Mick relives every one
of his World Series appearances -- from the 1951 battle when he
played alongside an aging Joe DiMaggio to his three-home-run
performance in the 1964 showdown. In addition to the on-field
heroics, Mantle talks candidly about the injuries, the alcohol, the
parties and celebrations, and the terrible toll they can take on a
young athlete's life. But most of all, it is a remembrance of
October greatness, of postseason pyrotechnics . . . and a loving
appreciation of a team of titans that achieved something marvelous
and unequaled to this day.
