This guidebook describes 44 routes and over 100 summits across the
Southern Uplands of Scotland, stretching south-west from Edinburgh
to the English border, including the Galloway and Pentland Hills.
The walks range between 2 and 18 miles, suitable for walkers of all
abilities. Highlights include Merrick and the Galloway Hills, Hart
Fell and the Devil's Beeftub, Cheviot and the Border Ridge,
Arthur's Seat and the River Tweed. Each route provides OS 1:50,000
mapping, information on distance, ascent, time, maximum altitude
and terrain, as well as details of any variants or shortcuts. With
notes on points of interest along the way as well as on transport
and accommodation, the guide gives all the information walkers
need. The Southern Uplands is a range that is about as big as the
Pennines. It is wild hill country, with over 80 hills of 2000ft or
more, and it boasts a real remoteness that is difficult to find
elsewhere. All hillwalkers should experience these wonderfully
characterful landscapes: green and gentle, but with hidden
surprises and remote escapes. The routes are suitable from spring
to autumn, and on winter days with good weather and snow
conditions.
A full colour map based on a digitising of a large-scale map of
York surveyed in 1850. The map shows the main medieval and
post-medieval buildings in this attractive and interesting city
including the Minster , York Castle (Clifford's Tower), St mary's
Abbey and the well-known city walls. The map's cover has a short
introduction to the city's history, and on the reverse of the map
an illustrated gazetteer of York's main buildings and sites of
interest. Combining clear cartography and extensive research, this
is a revised version of a map first published in 2012. The new
edition is presented as a cased folding map, to match those of
Winchester, Oxford and Hull in the series. Of interest to
historians and those who know and love York, the map charts the
process of renewal and development which has shaped one of
England's most important cities.
Where the salty air mingles with the far-off laughter of women in
ball gowns, the houses of "Newport's Cliff Walk" preside in
grandeur over the crashing waves below. Walking along the gravel
trail, it s easy to imagine the faintest hint of a waltz coming
from the windows of Beechwood, or to envision the Duchess of
Windsor's carriage arriving for a visit at Fairholme. Ed Morris
takes you on a tour of twenty-four historic mansions and landmarks,
entertaining along the way with tales of splendor and style, social
maneuvering and matchmaking.
Twenty miles south of the Arizona-Mexico border, the rugged,
beautiful Sierra Madre mountains begin their dramatic ascent.
Almost 900 miles long, the range climbs to nearly 11,000 feet and
boasts several canyons deeper than the Grand Canyon. The rules of
law and society have never taken hold in the Sierra Madre, which is
home to bandits, drug smugglers, Mormons, cave-dwelling Tarahumara
Indians, opium farmers, cowboys, and other assorted outcasts.
Outsiders are not welcome; drugs are the primary source of income;
murder is all but a regional pastime. The Mexican army occasionally
goes in to burn marijuana and opium crops -- the modern treasure of
the Sierra Madre -- but otherwise the government stays away. In its
stead are the drug lords, who have made it one of the biggest
drug-producing areas in the world.
Fifteen years ago, journalist Richard Grant developed what he
calls "an unfortunate fascination" with this lawless place. Locals
warned that he would meet his death there, but he didn't believe
them -- until his last trip. During his travels Grant visited a
folk healer for his insomnia and was prescribed rattlesnake pills,
attended bizarre religious rituals, consorted with cocaine-snorting
policemen, taught English to Guarijio Indians, and dug for buried
treasure. On his last visit, his reckless adventure spiraled into
his own personal heart of darkness when cocaine-fueled Mexican
hillbillies hunted him through the woods all night, bent on killing
him for sport.
With gorgeous detail, fascinating insight, and an undercurrent of
dark humor, "God's Middle Finger" brings to vivid life a truly
unique and uncharted world.
