You don't need to be ultra-fit or highly experienced in the
outdoors to enjoy outdoor guru Patrick Kinsella's selection of 30
activities across Britain. 'A sense of adventure and an explorer's
heartbeat' is all that's required, he says, and he should know,
having spent two decades walking, running, riding, paddleboarding,
swimming, canoeing, kayaking... and more besides, in all corners of
the country. Bradt's Caving, Canyoning, Coasteering... is both an
atlas of adventure and book of secrets, enticing readers out of
their comfort zone to explore the often-unseen elements and quieter
corners of Britain, where the wild experiences live. Some of the
activities described take place on the very edges of large urban
centres, easily accessible for anyone, yet even many locals don't
know about them. Others happen in far-flung corners of the country
- places people may never have considered exploring. 'This title
will take you on a highly adventurous tour of Britain's
extraordinary cliffs, caves, canyons, coasts, forests, fells,
beaches, Munros, moors and tors, via a range of outdoor pursuits -
many of which were conceived and pioneered on this island' says
Kinsella. 'It's all about wild time spent in wonderful places, from
the mysterious depths of the labyrinthine limestone underworld
beneath the Mendip Hills to the top of ice-clad arêtes and
snow-dusted peaks of monstrous Munros in the Scottish Highlands,
via seascapes and sub-aquatic environment in Devon and Cornwall,
tumbling streams and ghylls in the Lake District, and
cascade-concealed caverns in the waterfall-soaked world of the
Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) in Wales. It's not for the
faint of heart, but there are escapades here to excite everyone.'
Whether you're an experienced outdoor type or someone who's new to
the outdoors but seeking guidance on where to go and what to do, a
wildlife and fresh-air enthusiast or an armchair traveller, a lone
adventurer or family with young children, Caving, Canyoning,
Coasteering... is brimful of ideas. And if the adrenaline gets too
much, you'll even find advice on the sedate Japanese art of forest
bathing.
