Quite simply La Gomera and El Hierro Tour & Trail Maps are the
most detailed, accurate, toughest, easy to read, large scale maps
of La Gomera and El Hierro that you can buy. Our map sheet is 840mm
by 680mm. On the cover side you get the latest 35k scale 8th
edition La Gomera Tour & Trail Map by David Brawn. On the
reverse side is our 35k scale 1st edition El Hierro Tour &
Trail Map by Jan Kostura. Both maps are produced to our 'Tour &
Trail' level of detail ranging from major roads to secondary roads
to minor roads to streets and camino rural narrow country roads,
plus dirt roads and walking trails. Walking trails are specially
highlighted, GR (Gran Recorido trails in green) and Walk La Gomera
(in red), making them easier to identify on the maps and easier to
find on the ground. Altitude background colouring is designed to
clearly show the altitude range when traveling across each island
by car or on foot. 100 metre and 50 metre contours, 100m and 20m on
El Hierro, are clearly shown on the map along with a large number
of individual height points and all of the official 'Trig' points.
Tour & Trail attention to detail is legendary as is our useful
symbol range including miradors, picnic areas, petrol stations,
bar/restaurants and parking areas where you can pull off the road
safely.You will easily identify springs, caves, sports grounds,
cemeterys, churchs, chapels, lighthouses, towers and forts, camping
areas, wind turbines, hotels and those all important information
offices. For adventurers on foot Tour & Trail Maps are
researched and designed by hikers for use by hikers. Our
comprehensive gps ground surveys produce the best road mapping
available but the value of this on the ground research becomes even
more important when you leave the tarmac. Digital editions of these
maps are available for the Viewranger and LocusMap apps, plus
Custom Map versions for Garmin mapping gps units are available as a
digital zip file download from Discovery Walking Guides. These
Super-Durable Maps are printed using UV cured inks printed onto a
100 micron plastic substrate. This produces a Super-Durable map
sheet that feels like silk but will stand up to the roughest
treatment of outdoor adventuring and yet fold up like new at the
end of your adventure. DWG's special concertina map fold means your
map is easy to unfold, and easy to fold back to its folded pocket
size. Super-Durable Maps come with a 2 year adventurous use wear
and tear guarantee, see Discovery Walking Guides website for
details. For your best adventures, choose the best map.
For the best adventures, use the best map. Menorca Tour & Trail
Super-Durable Map covers this beautiful island at 40k scale
resulting in the most detailed and toughest map of Menorca that you
can buy. From 1 April 2020 a free Custom Map digital edition for
Garmin users is available to download from the Discovery Walking
Guides website. Menorca is a large island (700 sq kms) resulting in
a large, 840mm by 600mm, double sided map sheet with East on one
side and the West on the reverse. A generous common overlap reduces
the need to turn the map over when navigating. Our special
`concertina map fold' makes the map easy to unfold and refold to
its pocket size, 215mm by 120mm. Super-Durable Maps include a 2
year adventurous use wear and tear guarantee. At 40k scale, the
level of detail we can include on Menorca Tour & Trail
Super-Durable Map is awesome. Building on our previous editions, we
have our legendary level of Tour & Trail detail including the
named archaeological sites. New in 2018 for our 7th edition are the
road widening works on the ME-1 main road across the island, 30 new
Official Walking Routes and 20 Official Cycling Routes. These new
routes, along with Walk! Menorca walking routes and the Cami de
Cavalls, are specially highlighted on the map making them easier to
find and to follow on the ground. We've checked that `Menorca
Landscapes' routes are correctly shown on our map. Whichever source
you use for your hiking or cycling adventures, Menorca Tour &
Trail Super-Durable Map will be your map of choice. Quite simply,
Menorca Tour & Trail Super-Durable Map is the toughest, most
usable map of the island that you can buy. A digital Custom Map
edition of Menorca Tour & Trail Super-Durable Map is available
from DWG for GBP5.99 or as a free download for buyers of the
printed map. Viewranger has a digital edition of our Menorca map
available for their popular phone app.
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.
For better adventures, use the best map. Water-proof, split-proof,
tear-proof, adventure-proof. Ibiza Tour & Trail Super-Durable
Map is simply the toughest, most accurate, easy to read, easy to
use map of the island you can buy at any price. From 1 April 2020 a
free Custom Map digital edition for Garmin users is available to
download from Discovery Walking Guides website. David & Ros
Brawn have partnered with Walking World to include the highlighted
routes for 39 detailed walking routes on the island, plus the 20
Official mountain bike cycling routes are also highlighted on their
detailed routes. Large, 40k scale, easy to read map sheets include
a wealth of useful details. 20 metre and 100 metre contours
combined with altitude shading bring these impressive Ibiza
landscapes to life. All of the legendary Tour & Trail attention
to detail is included so that you will find those petrol stations,
mirador viewpoints with parking, refreshment stops with parking and
accurate road numbering that are so essential when adventuring by
hire car. 'Off-Tarmac' Ibiza Tour & Trail Map is in a league of
its own thanks to all those Walking World hiking trails (39) and
the official mountain biking routes (20). Being such a large 40k
scale map means that Ibiza covers both sides of the 840mm by 600mm
super-durable map sheet with a generous 5.6 kilometre common
overlap between the East and West map sheets, while still folding
back to a pocketable 235mm by 120mm when folded. 'Super-Durable'
means a waterproof, tear-proof, map that can take the roughest
treatment and still folds up like new after your adventures.
Printed on Polyart using specialist 100% oxygenation inks produces
a lightweight map that feels like silk but is a tough as old boots
as it shrugs off water, resists tearing and damage better than any
other map. 'Super-Durable' combined with our special concertina map
fold means this 'near indestructible' Tour & Trail Map unfolds
easily for use, and more importantly folds back up easily to its
compact pocket size even after the toughest use. Custom Map digital
edition for Garmin users is available from Discovery Walking Guides
website dwgwalking.co.uk plus digital editions are available for
3/4G gps apps from Viewranger and MyTrails. Tour & Trail
Super-Durable Maps are printed on Polyart using 100% oxygenation
inks which produces a lighweight map that feels like silk while
being both water-proof and incredibly tough so that after even the
toughest of adventures your Tour & Trail Super-Durable Map will
fold up like new. Polyart is made of high-density polyethylene
(HDPE) and is therefore 100% recyclable in category 2 HDPE.For more
information see the Polyart website.

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.
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.
Buying the Isle of Wight Walkers' Map also entitles you to receive
the Custom Map digital edition of the map as a free download from
Discovery Walking Guides.

The whole 'Wainwright' Coast to Coast on one double sided, 960mm by
694mm, map sheet. All 193 miles (308 kilometres) of the Wainwright
