Minorca, classed by the UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve, is a jewel
in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea where the cultural and
natural values have been especially well preserved. Together with
Sergi Lara, a professional mountain guide who programs active
travelling in all parts of the world, you can now discover over
200km of the GR 223 trail, the historical Cami de Cavalls, which
goes around the perimeter of the island.
This guide describes ascents of 25 Lake District fells that can be
climbed from Langdale and the Vale of Grasmere. Easily accessible
from the popular bases of Grasmere and Ambleside, this area offers
stunning scenery and fantastic walking, from the 'small but
perfectly made' Loughrigg - ideal for a Sunday afternoon hike - to
eye-catching Helm Crag ('the Lion and the Lamb'), from the lofty
heights of Bowfell to the iconic Langdale Pikes. England's highest
mountain, Scafell Pike, is also included in this volume. 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.

Welcome to the Have A Great Spray waterpark! There's slides, rides
and fried ice cream, but that's not the real attraction . . . Meet
Flamingo, Cactus, Donut and Watermelon - four inflatable pool
floats who live in an almost-forgotten pool next to the
Lost-and-Found office. They may have been left behind by their
original owners, but that hasn't stopped them becoming firm (well
actually quite squashy) friends. And of course there's Lynn too,
the traditional blue Lilo who has been floating around since the
park opened. She's been there, done that and got the puncture. But
things don't always go to plan when you're filled with air and live
in a park packed with pointy things. From Walter S. Lide - the
ruthless park owner - to Claws and Paws, the park's stray cats,
everyone is out to burst their bubble. With each day bringing a
fresh wave of drama, life with the inflatables is always guaranteed
to BLOW UP! Featuring TWO stories: Bad Air Day and Mission
Un-poppable. A funny, sunny, splash-tastic new series for readers
6+, featuring a gang of loveable pool floats! Perfect for fans of
The Bad Guys, Bad Kitty, Spongebob and Toy Story. "A pun-tastic,
abundantly silly graphic novel for 6+." The Guardian
In 1895, emissaries from the New York Yacht Club traveled to Deer
Isle, Maine, to recruit the nation's best sailors, an "All
American" crew. This remote island in Penobscot Bay sent nearly
thirty of its fishing men to sail "Defender," and under skipper
Hank Haff, they beat their opponents in a difficult and
controversial series. To the delight of the American public, the
charismatic Sir Thomas Lipton sent a surprise challenge in 1899.
The New York Yacht Club knew where to turn and again recruited Deer
Isle's fisherman sailors. Undefeated in two defense campaigns, they
are still considered one of the best American sail-racing teams
ever assembled. Read their fascinating story and relive their
adventure.
The history of North Carolina's Outer Banks is as ancient and
mesmerizing as its beaches. Much has been documented, but many
stories were lost--until now. Join local author and historian Sarah
Downing as she reveals a past of the Outer Banks eroded by time and
tides. Revel in the nostalgic days of the Carolina Beach Pavilion,
stand in the shadows of windmills that once lined the coast and
learn how native islanders honor those aviation giants, the Wright
brothers. Downing's vignettes adventure through windswept dunes,
dive deep in search of the lost ironclad the "Monitor" and lament
the decline of the diamondback terrapin. Break out the beach chair
and let your mind soak in the salty bygone days of these famed
coastal extremities.
From its humble beginnings as a place to swim and row a boat, Ideal
Beach eventually became Indiana Beach, a small amusement park where
families could have good old-fashioned fun. Founded by Earl
Spackman in 1926, its popularity was bolstered by the addition of a
dance hall that drew the top bands of the nation during the
Depression and war years of the 1940s. When Earl passed away, his
son Tom continued his legacy, setting Indiana Beach on a course
that would make it one of the most popular vacation resorts and
amusement parks in the entire Midwest, delighting nearly one
million visitors every year.
