The book comprises 36 short walking routes between 4 and 14 miles
in Northumberland, England's most sparsely populated county.
Ranging from easy ambles and gentle woodland trails to long days on
the hills, there is something for all types of walker - and all
types of weather. Taking in the beautiful coast with its immense,
empty beaches and dramatic crag-top castles to the remote hills of
the Cheviots and Pennines, the whole county is covered. Most of the
routes are circular, but there are a few linear walks that make use
of local bus services. The landscapes are rich in history,
featuring Hadrian's Wall, Lindisfarne Priory, Bamburgh and
Dunstanburgh castles, and much more. The walks are divided into
five geographical areas: north-east Northumberland, National Park
(north), Kielder, Tyne Valley and National Park (south) and the
North Pennines. Each walk description contains information on
start/finish points, distance covered, total ascent, terrain,
approximate walking time, grade, maps required, transport options,
public toilets and refreshments, and is accompanied by 1:50k OS
mapping. The book also includes a handy route summary table.

The Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path National Trail is an
easy-to-follow 130-mile trail that combines the best of inland and
coastal walking in Norfolk, and one that, being well waymarked,
largely flat and within easy reach of public transport for most of
its length, is ideal for people new to long-distance walks.
Described in 11 stages, the route can be walked in just over a week
but also easily split into day walks or over a series of weekends,
with full information about access to start and finish points for
each stage by public transport. This handy guidebook is illustrated
throughout with extracts of OS 1:50K mapping and stunning
photographs depicting the Trail in all seasons and describes points
of interest along the way, including the Norfolk Songlines
sculptures, and also facilities available in the towns and
villages. The trail is a walk of two halves. The Peddars Way begins
at Knettishall Heath in Suffolk and follows the route of an old
Roman road for over 40 miles to Holme-next-the-Sea, where it meets
the Norfolk Coast Path (which begins nearby, at Hunstanton). This
then follows the spectacular Norfolk coast to the seaside town of
Hopton-on-Sea.

This guide describes ascents of 25 Lake District fells that can be
climbed from the valleys of Wasdale, Eskdale and Ennerdale. Quieter
and wilder than the eastern side of the national park - though
every bit as beautiful - this area is home to many of the region's
most celebrated peaks, with highlights including iconic Great
Gable, Pillar and Yewbarrow, as well as England's highest mountain,
Scafell Pike. Unlike other guidebooks which describe a single or
limited number of routes to a particular destination, the aim of
the Walking the Lake District Fells series is to offer all the
options. These are presented as numbered sections which can be
combined to create infinite possibilities - from simple ascents to
longer ridge routes. You'll find the classics and popular routes
alongside less traditional alternatives perfect for the wandering
spirit. The series gives you both the freedom to devise your own
routes and the information to make informed decisions, thanks to
the clear descriptions of the routes, terrain, hazards, interesting
features and safe descent paths should the weather close in. Also
included are a handful of classic ridge routes for longer fell
days. Mark Richards' inimitable text is complemented by HARVEY
mapping and the author's own beautiful sketch topos and panoramas.
Perfect for keen hillwalkers and peak-baggers alike and ideal both
for pre-planning and use on the hill, Walking the Lake District
Fells is the new incarnation of the Fellranger series, which sees
the volumes updated and trimmed to a more practical size. These
true connoisseurs' guides are sure to inspire you to get out and
explore the beautiful fells of Lakeland.

The first general nonfiction title in thirty years from a giant of
American letters, The Search for the Genuine is a sparkling,
definitive collection of Jim Harrison's essays and journalism--some
never before published New York Times bestselling author Jim
Harrison (1937-2016) was a writer with a poet's economy of style
and trencherman's appetites and ribald humor. In The Search for the
Genuine, a collection of new and previously published essays, the
giant of letters muses on everything from grouse hunting fishing to
Zen Buddhism and matters of the spirit, including reported pieces
on Yellowstone and shark-tagging in the open ocean, commentary on
writers from Bukowski to Neruda to Peter Matthiessen, and a
heartbreaking essay on life-- and, for those attempting to cross in
the ever-more-dangerous gaps, death--on the US/Mexico border.
Written with Harrison's trademark humor, compassion, and
full-throated zest for life, this chronicle of a modern bon vivant
is a feast for fans who may think they know Harrison's nonfiction,
from a true "American original" (San Francisco Chronicle).
