If you are new to walking in the Yorkshire Dales, you're in for a treat, as we trace our way up the Three Peaks. First though, we'll do them one at a time, giving a chance to savour the experience, as well as getting to know the area. Paul Shorrock is the 'local' expert who has brought together the whole 'Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge' adventure. He starts by exploring each of the three peaks through six day walks before moving on to tackle the whole challenge. Everything you need to explore these glorious landscapes and prepare yourself for the 12 hour Challenge is included in 'The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge':- - Fully detailed walk descriptions, with frequent timings to aid navigation, for the six day walks and the complete challenge. - OS 25k large scale mapping of all the walking routes. - gps waypoints for the pin-point navigational accuracy that is so valuable for a successful challenge. - Full training, accommodation and local information for everything you need to know before attempting the challenge. The Three Peaks of the Yorkshire Dales provide some of the finest walking in Britain. With a combination of high peaks and stunning scenery the area is rightly popular with outdoor types, from leisure walkers up to super-fit fell runners. It always seems to follow that when you have a mix of high places and human beings, sooner or later someone will come up with an idea of a challenge of some kind. With the Three Peaks of Pen y Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough the solution was simple - do them all in one walk! New for the 2nd edition is the news that Paul's routes are now the 'official' Y3P routes.

Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge Map and Guide at 25k scale with challenge route specially highlighted. We licence OS 50k scale mapping which is then doubled in size to produce a 25k map but the features, text and logos are now doubled in size making them much easier to read under challenge conditions. Y3P 12 Hour Challenge Route is added and specially highlighted so that the route stands out against the OS background map. Then we add the additional detail you might need including the popular Challenge starting points of the Pen Y Ghent Cafe (Horton), Station Inn (Ribblehead) and the Hill Inn (Chapel-le-Dale). Then we add the four parts of our Challenge Guide; 1 Horton to Pen-y-ghent, 2 Pen-y-ghent to Whernside, 3 Whernside to Ingleborough, 4 Ingleborough to Horton. The gps track and 47 waypoints (highlighted on the map) of our Challenge is available as a free gpx file download, and can be used on all gps phone apps and gps units. On the reverse of the map sheet is our Locator Map using OS Opendata showing the location of, and access to, the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge relative to a wide area of England. The result is a double sided 600mm by 600mm map design. We then print the map design on a 100 micron plastic substrate using a special UV curing inks process on the UK's only press capable of using this latest technology. The result is a lightweight map that is both waterproof and tearproof, and fully recyclable, that will survive anything your Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge can throw at it and afterwards will fold up like new.

Ordnance Survey accuracy is combined with Tour & Trail map design to produce 40k scale map sections which are easy to read. OS 50k Landranger mapping is expanded to 40k scale making the text and features over 40% larger making them easy to read and understand. Wainwright's C2C walking routes, and their alternatives, are specially highlighted in Tour & Trail style making the routes easy to find on the map and on the ground. Public `Rights of Way' paths and bridleways are also highlighted in Tour & Trail style making them easy to recognise and find. Coast 2 Coast Challenge Map design is then printed on Polyart using 100% oxygenation inks to produce a lightweight, Super-Durable, waterproof map that is tough enough to shrug off the worst that the C2C can subject it to and still fold up like new at the end of each day. In addition to the Super-Durable printed map, Discovery Walking Guides offers you a free `C2C Digital Resources Package'. Simply follow the instructions on the map to receive a download link to the zip file, which contains all 9 map sections as digital Custom Map editions in kmz file format along with 13 gpx waypoint files covering the 13 stages of the C2C. Combining the Super-Durable Map with the Digital Resources Package gives you trouble free navigation for the whole C2C Challenge route from St Bees to Robin Hood's Bay.

Rutland Water is the UK's largest man-made lake set in 4,200 acres of parkland including a wide, hard surfaced, walkway making the 'Water' an ideal introduction to long distance walking. There are four official, family friendly, recreation centres and nature reserves including the Rutland Osprey Project.

A hundred kilometres northwest of Seville lies a region of truly unspoilt rural Spain. Once a province of Portugal the Sierra de Aracena encapsulates almost everything that we look for as the idyllic walking destination; rural beauty in flora and fauna, breathtaking landscapes, unspoilt towns and villages linked by old donkey trails. All it lacks are high mountains. The Spanish have known about this isolated region for sometime and arrive at weekends and in mid-summer, but on weekdays and out of season it returns to peaceful tranquility. Few 'outsiders' know of this delightful region and you can be the first to read about it in English. We first discovered the region five years ago, when we thought it too isolated to justify a guide. Since then we have returned regularly, completing our walking research and map surveys in Oct/Nov 2003 and final walking research in May 2004. Now we feel the time is here to introduce you to our secret. Picture sloping meadows dotted with Cork Oaks where herds of inquisitive Iberian black pigs roam at will in a piggy paradise, switch to pollarded Chestnut trees with lively herds of goats, switch to the flock of sheep and lambs that graze outside the apartments at Villa Turistica Fuenteheridos, add in horses and donkeys grazing amongst the trees and meadows and you have the picture of an idyllic bucolic landscape. The wild life is equally impressive, we saw two black vultures on our first day and another two days later. Wild flowers abound like nowhere else. Botanists arriving in Spring will think they have landed in paradise. At first we tried keeping notes of the species, but had to give up because there were so many including several we had not seen before. The undergrazed meadows are a carpet of colour from the flowers. Wild Peonies colonise the chestnut orchards west of Castano del Robledo. Occasionally one species will dominate a meadow or hillside but normally there is a complete mix of species lining our walking routes. Keen plants people should double our walking times just to allow time to marvel at the wild flowers. And the walking, with settlements linked by a rural network of tracks and trails centuries old you will not be seeing much of the quiet tarmac roads in the region. Tracks and trails range from immaculate cobbling to occasional cobbling to dirt and some are eroded by storm damage. Most of the time we are on clear well-made trails but be ready for some rough stuff. This is not a mountainous region but the steep sided ridges that comprise the Sierra de Aracena have plenty of 'puff and grunt' ascents, most just melt away but Linares de la Sierra to Alajar when we were caught in a downpour was quite hard work. 'Adventurous leisure walker' is how we would catagorise the walking with plenty of ups and downs so a moderate level of fitness is needed. Sierra de Aracena is far from the realms of mass tourism and the nearest you will find to crowds are busloads of Spanish pensioners visiting the Grutas de Maravilla caves in Aracena and the famous ham factories in Jabugo. Horse riding holidays are becoming popular, expect jodhpurs with breakfast at the Sierra de Aracena Hotel and Finca Valbono. Headwater offer an 'Undiscovered Andalucia' week of guided walking in the region. We flew to Malaga, picked up a pre-booked Peugot 206 and drove the 300 kilometres to stay at Villa Turistica de Fuenteheridos. There are hotels and modern hostels in Aracena, Fuenteheridos, Grazalema, Almonaster and La Posada in the country north of Cartagena; full accommodation information is in the book. In Oct/Nov 2003 we visited the Feria de Setas in Aracena to marvel at the amazing wild mushrooms collected from the local woodland. This time it was the Feria de Animales like a small county show for cattle, sheep, goats and pigs; but mostly an excuse for the regions farmers to get together for three days of 'Archers' style conversation, eating and not a little drinking. "Sierra de Aracena - a Walk! Guidebook" will introduce you to this beautiful region through our 27 fully detailed walking routes backed by masses of useful information. Every route has 1:40,000 scale colour mapping from our "Tour & Trail Map", plus GPS Waypoints for pinpoint navigational accuracy.

A 'shilling shocker' from the late 19th century, a macabre novel of murder and its consequences, originally published as a Christmas Annual for adults and now reissued complete with a hilarious parody by satirist Andrew Lang released the same Christmas. In the eyes of the law, murder is murder. When Dr North discovers that his beloved Philippa - surely the most beautiful murderess who ever crossed the pages of fiction - has killed her abusive husband, he must decide whether to turn her in or take the law into his own hands. There are dark days ahead as he wrestles with his conscience: can a crime ever be justified? And is Philippa the villain or the victim? Combining the thrills of the Penny Dreadful with the melodrama of the Sensation Novel, Hugh Conway wrote some of the most successful Christmas crime stories ever published. Dark Days followed his enthralling Called Back as a Christmas Annual, published just before his untimely death ended a writing career of only four years, robbing the world of one of the most popular detective writers since Wilkie Collins. This Detective Story Club Classic is introduced by David Brawn, and includes Much Darker Days by Scottish writer, critic and satirist Andrew Lang, a hilarious retelling of the story which sold almost as well as the original.

National 3 Peaks Challenge Maps. Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon at 20k scale. Waterproof, tearproof and 100% recyclable 820mm by 420mm double sided map sheet. Taking OS mapping at 50k scale we expand the mapping to produce 20k scale maps of the three challenge peaks, Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon. By expanding the OS mapping the features of names, roads, tracks and trails are more than doubled in size making them easier to read under Challenge conditions. We then add the Challenge Routes, specially highlighted to make them stand out against the OS map background information and add in additional information that will help your challenge. Each map covers the region to show the access roads as well as the walking routes. Ben Nevis includes the Glen Nevis Information Centre starting point and Glen Nevis Youth Hostel starting point. Scafell Pike includes the Wasdale and Seathwaite Challenge Routes. Snowdon includes the Pyg Track, Miners Track and Llamberis Challenge Routes. Each peak is a 420mm by 420mm OSlike map mounted on a double sided map sheet of 840mm by 420mm. The map designs are then printed on a 100 micron plastic substrate using UV cured inks on the UK's only press capable of using this latest technology. The result is a lightweight map that is both waterproof and tearproof, and fully recyclable, that will survive anything your 3 Peaks Challenge can throw at it and afterwards will fold up like new.

Isle of Wight Walkers' Map at 32k scale with challenge routes and walking trails highlighted. OS 50k scale mapping is expanded in size to produce a 32k map. The OS features, text and logos are now 50% larger making them much easier to read under outdoor conditions. Isle of Wight Challenge Route (66 miles) is specially highlighted in green and white so that the route stands out against the OS background map. Then we add the Earl Mountbatten Hospice's Walk (26.5 miles) highlighted in gold and white. A large range of gps surveyed walking trails are then highlighted in grey and white. The result is an easy to read `OSlike' map with walking trails specially highlighted. We then split the island into East (cover side) and West (reverse side) with a ten mile common overlap to the two sides; meaning you will only have to turn the map over if you are undertaking the longest Challenge or Earl Mountbatten routes. The result is a double sided 840mm by 694mm OSlike Super-Durable Map. We then print the map design on a 100 micron plastic substrate using a special UV curing inks process on the UK's only press capable of using this latest technology. The printed map sheets are then folded using a special concertina map fold to its pocket size of 230mm by 120mm. The result is the Isle of Wight Walkers' Map. A lightweight map that is both accurate and easy to read and use. Super-Durable means your map is waterproof and tearproof, and fully recyclable. This map will survive anything your Isle of Wight Challenges can throw at it and afterwards will fold up like new.
