All the mapping you need to walk the Offa's Dyke Path National
Trail that runs for 177 miles along the English-Welsh border
between Sedbury (near Chepstow) and Prestatyn on the north Wales
Coast. NOTE An accompanying Cicerone guidebook - Offa's Dyke Path -
describes the full route from south to north with lots of other
practical and historical information. The accompanying guidebook
INCLUDES a copy of this map booklet. This booklet of Ordnance
Survey 1:25,000 Explorer maps is conveniently sized for slipping
into a jacket pocket or top of a rucksack. It shows the full and
up-to-date line of the Offa's Dyke Path, along with the relevant
extract from the OS Explorer map legend.
This guidebook describes 30 day walks set across the valley of the
Wye river, the fourth-largest river in England and Wales, and
certainly the most scenic. The circular walks are centred around
Chepstow, Monmouth, Ross-on-Wye, Hereford, Hay-on-Wye, Builth Wells
and Rhayader. Every route description is accompanied by an
annotated OS map, and range in length between 3 and 9 miles. The
walks explore limestone gorges and soaring moorlands, ancient
routes, border castles and Tintern Abbey. Practical details such as
the amount of ascent and timings information are included for every
walk, as are details on public transport and parking facilities.
Other useful information on the river's history, geology and
wildlife ensure that this is an ideal companion to exploring the
impressive range of walking the Wye Valley offers.
This guidebook - which includes both a guide to the route and a
separate OS map booklet - describes Offa's Dyke Path National Trail
from south to north, following the longest linear earthwork in
Britain, running 177 miles along the English-Welsh border between
Sedbury (near Chepstow) and Prestatyn on the north Wales Coast. The
book splits one of Britain's classic trails into 12 stages suitable
for walkers of all abilities. Step-by-step route descriptions are
accompanied by 1:100,000 OS map extracts. Also included with this
guidebook is a booklet of 1:25,000 OS maps, which provides all the
mapping needed to complete the trail in a compact form. A trek
planner gives at a glance information about facilities, public
transport and accommodation available along the route. The walk is
astonishingly varied, taking in the lower Wye gorge, the Severn and
the Dee rift valley, the pastures and woodlands of the border
country, the remote moorland of the Black Mountains and the
Clwydian range, and the dramatic limestone escarpments of Eglwyseg
mountain. What makes it even more special is over 60 miles walking
alongside the Saxon earthwork of Offa's Dyke.
Developing applications for the Android mobile operating system can
seem daunting, particularly if it requires learning a new
programming language: Kotlin, now Android's official development
language. With this practical book, Android developers will learn
how to make the transition from Java to Kotlin, including how
Kotlin provides a true advantage for gaining control over
asynchronous computations. Authors Pierre-Olivier Laurence, Amanda
Hinchman-Dominguez, G. Blake Meike, and Mike Dunn explore
implementations of the most common tasks in native Android
development, and show you how Kotlin can help you solve concurrency
problems. With a focus on structured concurrency, a new
asynchronous programming paradigm, this book will guide you through
one of Kotlin's most powerful constructs, coroutines. Learn about
Kotlin essentials and the Kotlin Collections Framework Explore
Android fundamentals: the operating system and the application
container and its components Learn about thread safety and how to
handle concurrency Write sequential, asynchronous work at a low
cost Examine structured concurrency with coroutines, and learn how
channels make coroutines communicate Learn how to use flows for
asynchronous data processing Understand performance considerations
using Android profiling tools Use performance optimizations to trim
resource consumption
Get professionally developed and curated recipes for 20 of the most
common tasks for functionality in modern native iOS and Android
applications. With this practical book, developers can use an
easily translatable set of instructions for completing routine
functionality in both platforms in a way that follows best
practices. Authors Shaun Lewis and Mike Dunn provide step-by-step
direction to help you create a fully-functional application using
modern practices and designs that will utilize those tasks. The
development of the apps will be laid out side-by-side, so that the
friction usually involved in switching between platforms while
developing is greatly reduced. By the end of this book, you’ll
have developed apps for both iOS and Android with exactly the same
core features, as well as some additional features that are
relevant and unique to each app’s operating system.
A walking guidebook to the Forest of Dean Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty. From short walks of 4 miles to all-day sections of

rolling countryside of the Forest of Dean. 21 of the walks are
circular, and 4 one-way linear routes along historic long-distance
trails are described, alongside 1:25,000 OS map extracts and a
wealth of background information on places of interest along the
way. The walks in this guidebook take you to all corners of the
forest, along shaded valleys and gorges, across wide-open farmland
and over high ridges with big views. Every route is supplemented by
historic, geological and wildlife information to help you make the
most of your days walking in the Forest of Dean, as well as
practical information on public transport and other local
facilities.
All I am is a fisherman. That's all I'm guilty of, Your Honour. On
31 May 2010 eleven holdalls were discovered along the shore near
Freshwater on the Isle of Wight; when opened they contained GBP53m
worth of cocaine - the biggest haul ever found in UK waters. A
local fishing crew was accused of waiting in the Channel for the
bags to be thrown from a passing cargo ship in an operation
allegedly masterminded by a local scaffolder. The Freshwater Five
is a true story that cuts to the heart of the British judicial
system. Did five men really attempt one of the world's biggest drug
smuggling operations - or were they simply in the wrong place, at
the wrong time? Why did the police hastily alter key surveillance
statements, why were logs blacked out or mysteriously left empty -
and why was crucial evidence never disclosed at trial? All five men
fiercely denied the allegations, but a jury rejected their version
of the events. This is the story of what actually happened as told
by the skipper of the crew. It's a story that reveals the human
misery of brutal prison sentences and a story that leaves the
reader with one question: Does the British legal system really
dispense justice?
