Central Arizona's most popular forest area houses six separate

guide corrals all of the best hikes -- no small task, since there

descriptions of each hike, along with practical, need-to-know
logistical information, this guide demystifies a truly enormous and

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.
This detailed and informative walking guide contains 20 circular
routes, from 4-1/2 miles to 20 miles in length, with each route
consisting of four components. The routes are all within Derbyshire
and start from Duffield, Belper, Allestree, Carsington Water,
Chatsworth, Castleton, Ogston and Tissington. Many of the routes
are based on original charity walks. Dr James Mason of Duffield
organised an annual sponsored walk to support the homeless people
of Derby, known as the Duffield Deanery walk, which visited the
churches in the Deanery. He originally completed it over a weekend
but the book has split it into four routes. This explains why
churches feature significantly as stopping points or points of
reference. Some of the shorter routes were originally developed as
sponsored walks to support the Friends of Babington Hospital of
Belper. The routes have been planned to minimise road walking,
mainly crossing fields and tracks. They will take you past some
interesting sights including churches, farms, World Heritage sites,
pubs and mills. Varied and challenging - if you choose - this guide
is a must for walking enthusiasts, whether local or visitors to
Derbyshire.

Walks in the Footsteps of Rosamunde Pilcher features eighteen walks
each associated either with a places special to her or a location
from her books and films. Rosamunde Pilcher was born and brought up
in Lelant, Cornwall, and started writing at the age of seven in a
house overlooking the Hayle estuary. Her love of Cornwall is
evident in her descriptions - the sea's varying shades of blue and
green, the way it sighs and swells like a living being; her
knowledge and love of the Cornish landscape and its people which is
reflected in this book of carefully selected walks. Walks in the
Footsteps of Rosamunde Pilcher is a unique tribute to this writer
who sadly died in February 2019. We are used to seeing German film
crews bringing her stories to life on the screen, and we welcome
the many visitors who come to sample Cornwall's beauty as portrayed
in her books. This book includes plenty of old Cornish houses and
cafes along the routes - a book to delight all Pilcher fans,
walkers and armchair travellers alike.
