Raad ny Foillan (The Way of the Gull) is a 98 mile footpath around
the Isle of Man. The route description is set out as a circuit and
split into stages, with the longest walk being 15.5 miles and the
shortest being 7 miles. Any fast walkers may wish to complete two
stages per day, while those progressing at a more leisurely pace
may decide to amble along and take in the splendid attractions
along the way. Two further walks described in this guidebook, the
23 mile Millennium Way, which follows the ancient route of the
kings, from Ramsey to Castletown, and the 14 mile Herring Way,
which takes a more traditional route from Peel to Castletown. Both
these routes cross the hills of the island's interior and can be
combined to make an interesting longer walk.
This guidebook describes two contrasting routes in north-east
Scotland: the Moray Coast Trail from Forres to Cullen, and the Dava
Way, an inland route from Grantown to Forres. The Moray Coast Trail
consists of 44 miles of beach walking, coastal paths, quiet roads
and old railway. The Dava Way extends for 23 miles inland with
vistas of mountain, moorland and farmland. We also introduce the
Moray Way, a concept combining most of the above two routes with
part of the Speyside Way to form a 95-mile circuit of considerable
beauty and historical interest. Here is all you need to plan and
enjoy your holiday on and around the Moray Firth: detailed
description of the Moray Coast Trail from west to east, and Dava
Way from south to north summaries of distance, terrain and
refreshments for each section details of visitor attractions and
side-trips richly illustrated habitats and wildlife planning
information for travel by car, bus and plane contacts for
accommodation maps showing both routes at 1:40,000 in full colour,
with 75 photographs rucksack-friendly and on rainproof paper.
Volume two of Walking the Munros, this guidebook describes 70
challenging and inspiring routes up Scotland's iconic 3000ft+
mountains within the Northern Highlands, the Cairngorms and the
Isle of Skye. The routes, which range from 7 to 46km (with the
option to reduce walking distance on some of the longer routes by
cycling the approach), cover 143 Munro summits, offering half and
full-day walk and scramble options. Clear and concise route
descriptions are accompanied by 1:100K mapping, together with
invaluable practical information on access, parking, accommodation
and more. Also included are two handy indexes of the Munros -
listed alphabetically and by height - a perfect resource for
peak-baggers. This guide incorporates both popular and lesser-known
routes, and celebrates the raw and rugged beauty of these majestic
mountains.
The Climbing Bible: Practical Exercises by Martin Mobråten and
Stian Christophersen is a collection of exercises specifically
designed to help you train technique and strength so that you can
develop and improve as a climber. After two decades of climbing,
training and coaching, the authors have built up a huge library of
exercises, and they share many of them with you in this book. The
first section focuses on your technique, with emphasis on footwork,
grip positions, balance, direction of force and dynamics, among
other things. The second section features exercises to help you
train strength and power – with on-the-wall exercises, finger
strength and fingerboarding exercises, arm exercises and more. Also
included is a section for children and young climbers to help their
parents and coaches create great sessions for kids. This chapter
presents games, technique exercises and physical training ideas for
children. Illustrated with over 200 technique and action photos,
and with insights from the authors and other top climbers, The
Climbing Bible: Practical Exercises will inspire you to try new
exercises in every training session. Keep it in your climbing wall
bag, cover it in chalk and embrace the variety so easily found in
climbing.
