diaries from women cyclists, both professionals and enthusiastic
amateurs. There are quick, up-and-at-'em breakfast ideas to charge
you up pre-ride, energy-boosting back pocket picnics to keep you
going strong while you're on the road and wonderfully restorative
main meals to share with friends once you've crossed the finish

community: of the great chat in a cafe mid-ride, of the handful of
Haribos that gets you through the last 25km and the shared beer and
burger at the end of the day.

A guidebook to 40 circular walks in in two of Lancashire's largest
Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty - the Forest of Bowland, an
area of 310 square miles, and the 'bewitching' countryside of
Pendle to the south. The walks range between 3 and 12.5 miles in
length and are all illustrated with extracts of OS mapping. The
diverse range of routes include four Marilyns - Ward's Stone,
Pendle Hill, Longridge Fell and Fair Snape Fell. The walks are
spread across the region, with bases including Caton, Dunsop
Bridge, Slaidburn, Clitheroe and Pendle. All the walks are
punctuated with snippets of information on the natural and cultural
history of the region, from witches to wildlflowers. The Forest of
Bowland and Pendle provide vastly differing terrain - from the lush
farmlands of the Ribble valley to the more rugged rough pastures of
the Forest of Bowland uplands and the huge boggy uplifts of the
main Bowland massif itself.
The Moray Way consists of all or part of three previously existing
routes: the Moray Coast Trail, the Speyside Way and the Dava Way.
Together they cover a huge and varied range of landscapes.This book
is the ideal guide to much of what this beautiful and richly
historical part of Scotland has to offer. The largest town, Forres,
is an ancient royal burgh. Between it and the next biggest town of
Lossiemouth lie the coastal villages of Findhorn, Burghead and
Hopeman, connected by some of Scotland's finest coastal scenery and
beaches. Eastwards, beyond intact remains of second world war
defences, lie Garmouth and Fochabers, the former, many centuries
ago, the main port of Moray Here the Moray Way turns south,
following a course through the fertile Spey valley. Its many
distilleries are part of the considerable variety of interest as
the route continues to the resort town of Grantown. A final stage
northward crosses the wild openness of Dava Moor, reaching
eventually the spectacular Divie viaduct where there is a dramatic
change to gentler woodlands and pastoral landscapes as the trail
leads back to Forres.
There are few people who can resist the appeal of gliding over the open sea in a trim and handsome yacht, or the glamour of the great international yachting challenges. Unlike dinghy sailing, yachting offers the opportunity to cruise in comfort to exotic destinations, and advances in design and technology make today's boats safer and better appointed than ever before But getting started can be a complex and costly business. The Yachting Handbook is aimed at the sailor who wants to move up to bigger, more advanced craft. The book covers the basics - technical, legal and financial - of buying the right vessel and fitting it out for your needs, as well as the care and maintenance of hull, rigging, engine, water and electrical systems. Chapters on navigation (both celestial and electronic) and weather and tides will offer the essentials of these complex and fascinating subjects, and chapters on planning cruises, cruising routes and races will provide inspiration for anyone who's ever dreamed of venturing beyond the harbour mouth. There is comprehensive coverage of emergency procedures. Illustrated throughout in full colour, The Yachting Handbook will appeal to sailors of all experience levels. Contents include: Choosing a cruising yacht; Preparing your yacht; Communications and Navigation; Weather; Safety and Emergencies; Cruising and Cruising destinations; and Racing.
This guidebook describes 35 circular walking routes in the Dark
Peak - the wilder northern area of the Peak District distinguished
by its dark gritstone. The walks range between 4 and 13.5 miles in
length (6.5km to 22km), varying in terms of difficulty: some
involve steep ascents and descents, uneven ground and pathless
terrain, and demand a good level of navigational competence. The
book also outlines 5 longer routes (3 linear; 2 circular) of 15.5
to 28 miles (25-45km) for those wishing to explore the area
further, including a classic 'skyline' circuit of the Kinder Scout
plateau. Detailed route description and 1:50,000 OS mapping are
provided for each route, along with information on nearby points of
interest and facilities. Icons of the Dark Peak - such as Kinder
Scout, Stanage Edge, the Roaches and Mam Tor - are included,
however, the focus is on exploring the lesser-known corners of the
region. The routes take in striking gritstone edges, distinctive
rock formations, open moorland, steep-sided valleys and hidden
waterfalls. The Dark Peak features a wild landscape of sweeping
moorland and big skies. Easily accessible from Sheffield, it boasts
a wealth of natural, geological, historical and cultural interest -
and some great walking.

Regiment. He's big, black and brave, yet steady as a rock. But
what's his story, and how is he trained for his special military
role? The Household Cavalry is a uniquely British institution,
famous around the world for its outstanding pageantry and gallantry
on the battle field. Its 250 horses, known as Cavalry Blacks, are
central to its existence, and visitors to London flock to see these
magnificent horses taking part in ceremonies and routine guarding
activities. Little is known about how they are chosen, trained and
what their duties - as full members of their regiment - entail.
Here in words and pictures Juliet Blaxland fills in the background
to their life and work, providing a fascinating insight into the
world of the Household Cavalry horse.
