For your best adventures, use the best map. Madeira's favourite map
just got a whole lot better. Now in its 10th edition including the
new Palheiro golf development, goodbye to the abandoned Ponta Pargo
golf course, final sections of the VE3 road, loads of minor road
updating especially in the south west. For hikers we have added
several new highlighted walking routes. Madeira Tour & Trail
Map is a large 960mm by 700mm double sided map sheet. Super-Durable
edition comes with a 2 year adventurous use guarantee. Specialist
concertina map folding means the 960mm by 700mm double sided map
folds quickly to its 235mm by 120mm pocket size. This most detailed
map of Madeira includes our 'Tour & Trail' level of detail
ranging from major roads to secondary roads to minor roads to
streets and camino rural narrow country roads, plus dirt roads and
walking trails. Altitude background colouring is designed to
clearly show the altitude range when travelling across the island
by car or on foot. 100 metre and 50 metre contours are clearly
shown on the map along with a large number of individual height
points and all of the official 'Trig' points. Tour & Trail
attention to detail is legendary as is our useful symbol range
including miradors, picnic areas, petrol stations, bar/restaurants
and parking areas where you can pull off the road safely. You will
easily identify springs, caves, sports grounds, cemetries, churchs,
chapels, lighthouses, towers and forts, camping areas, wind
turbines, hotels etc. For adventurers on foot Tour & Trail Maps
are researched and designed by hikers for use by hikers. Our
comprehensive gps ground surveys produce the best mapping available
but the value of this on the ground research becomes even more
important when you leave the tarmac. All of our DWG walking routes
are accurately gps surveyed giving you confidence in the accuracy
of our Tour & Trail Maps. Madeira Tour & Trail Map includes
all the walking routes from 'Madeira Walks' volumes 1 & 2 by
Shirley Whitehead highlighted in Red while other published walking
routes (printed guide books and reliable web publications) are
highlighted in Green. It all adds up to the most useful map of
Madeira that you can buy anywhere. In use maps have a very tough
life so you will appreciate our specialist concertina map fold that
allows you to quickly open the map, and more importantly fold it
back up to its pocket size after use. Paper maps will always suffer
from the repeated unfolding, folding to the section you want to
use, and then refolding. We recommend everybody to obtain our
Super-Durable editions printed with 100% oxygenation inks on
Polyart by the UK's leading map printer, which produces a map that
feels like silk but will stand up to the roughest treatment of
outdoor adventuring and yet fold up like new at the end of your
adventure. Tour & Trail Super-Durable Maps are more expensive
than paper maps, but represent better value as they produce a
lightweight map that feels like silk while being both water-proof
and incredibly tough so that after even the toughest of adventures
your Tour & Trail Super-Durable Map will fold up like new.
Digital editions of Madeira Tour & Trail Map for phone apps and
Garmin users are available on the dwgwalking website.
Guidebook describing 24 coastal and inland walks on the island of
Jersey, ranging from 4.5km (3 miles) to 12.5km (8 miles) in length.
Almost all of the walks link directly with one or two other walks,
allowing all kinds of extensions to the route. The walks can also
be joined together to create the 80km (50 mile) Jersey Coastal
Walk, part of the Channel Island Way. The walks use good paths and
tracks as well as quiet country roads. Occasional more rugged paths
explore the island's excellent cliff coastline. Jersey has an
excellent bus network and the walks can be accessed by public
transport. There are also plenty of opportunities for refreshment,
details of which are provided in the text. Clear step-by-step route
description is illustrated with States of Jersey 1:25,000 mapping
(very similar in style to British OS mapping), and route statistics
and a summary table make it easy to choose the ideal walk. Famous
for sunshine, year-round walking, history and a wonderful
coastline, Jersey is an intriguing destination for travellers.
Outwardly British but with French overtones, the island has plenty
of fascinating historical sites and attractions to visit, including
castles, churches and museums. The guide includes a brief overview
of Jersey's turbulent history and unusual constitutional status, as
well as notes on local points of interest.

Don't just see the sights-get to know the people. Malaysia presents
visitors with an exciting and fascinating medley of
cultures--Malay, Chinese, Indian, Arab, Eurasian, Dayak, and
aboriginal. Though very much a modern nation state, its diverse

languages, and architecture, Malaysian society perfectly
illustrates the virtues of a vibrant pluralism. Culture Smart!

cultural mix. It provides a succinct and straightforward
introduction to Malaysian history and society, explains the deeper
core values of the different ethnic groups, and guides you through
the maze of Malaysian etiquette and behaviour for both social and
business settings. Have a more meaningful and successful time
abroad through a better understanding of the local culture.
Chapters on values, attitudes, customs, and daily life will help
you make the most of your visit, while tips on etiquette and
communication will help you navigate unfamiliar situations and
avoid faux pas.
After British-born, comedy actress Diz White found herself craving
Yorkshire Pudding at every meal she knew her roots were pulling her
back from America to her homeland. It was time to buy a Cotswolds
Cottage! Her roller-coaster search doubles as a travel-tour that
takes in every delight of the Cotswolds: historic sites, hog
roasts, hiking the Cotswold Way and pub walks with her husband,
often bagging the walk in favour of a slightly boozy lunch.There
were highs, heartbreaks and cliff-hangers as she was charged by a
bull named Chasin' Mason, auditioned for the hind end of a horse
and was trampled by thirty children while wearing a bear suit, but
the fondness she developed for this region and its vivid
inhabitants gave her a feeling of community missing from her busy
urban existence. Will this author's dream cottage become a reality?
Find out in this witty love note to the Cotswolds. This book does
double-duty as a travel tour of the Cotswolds and features a
valuable VISITOR'S GUIDE with GPS and Sat Nav info, a MAP and over
a dozen especially commissioned PHOTOGRAPHS.
This guide covers a north to south section of Brittany from the
pink granite coast to the Gulf of Morbihan and includes inland
areas of beauty as well as stunning river valleys. It also contains
a selection of scenic walks with full directions and points of
interest.
