Paperback. Condición: Very Good. A guidebook of 60 short walks in the south of the English Lake District, the first of a three-part series covering the whole of Lakeland.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The western part of this two-volume guidebook gives 42 walking routes to all the 140 or so tarns in the western English Lake District, Cumbria, UK. Scattered across the Lake District National Park are hundreds of tarns and small pools waiting to be discovered by the unhurried fell-walker. With their small tent and immense enthusiasm, the authors have investigated every little speck of blue on the map in their efforts to compile these detailed mountain tarn walks of western Lakeland. From huge Devoke Water to the tiny Lang Tarn on the Heathwaite Fells, they reveal that every tarn is unique in its appeal and that the seasonal changes ensure that no two visits are ever the same.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. A guide to walking in southern Scotland's Lowther Hills and also the Carsphairn Hills, the hills of the Solway coast, Tinto and Cauldcleuch Head. The Lowther Hills offer high rounded ridges: windswept, sheep-nibbled and solitary. However the tops are only part of the story. Careful exploration discovers the small hidden valleys, the 'cleuchs' and 'linns' that give this range its particular character. Here you may meet a wild goat, or find yourself involved with a small waterfall and a couple of feet of rockclimbing. Along the Solway coast are granite hills, with all the ruggedness of the Cairngorms but hardly any of the height. Rocky-topped Criffel, Screel and Cairnsmore of Fleet contrast nicely with the steep-sided grassy hills inland, and with the gorse and beaches of the Solway coast. These 50 walks cover all the hills west of the M74 except the Merrick and Rhinns of Kells. In case of bad weather there are also a few woodland and coastal walks.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Guidebook of high peak walks in the Peak District, England, UK. This guide is the first part of a two-volume survey designed to balance the marvellous diversity and wealth of walking country contained in the Peak District National Park. These high peak walks encompass the Dark Peak moors of Black Hill, Bleaklow, Kinder Scout, the higher eastern edges and the annexed western gritstone uplands from Windgather to The Roaches. The present area is characterised by great swelling moorland composed of sandstones and shales capped by a coarse gritstone, known as Millstone Grit, outcropping along plateau edges and scarps. Gritstone is pervious but a climatic quirk caused a thin impervious sedimentation to stop water penetration and triggered the formation of a thick blanket of peat over the Pennine uplands. 22 day-long walks and one linear challenge walk, carefully researched and described, offer walkers a practical and entertaining means of acquainting themselves with this popular moorland region. Each walk is designed to embrace particular localities, drawing on the contrasting qualities of each to sustain interest and develop an appreciation of the wild, dramatic and often shy beauty peculiar to this northern sector of Peakland.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Unlike most of the Cumbrian and Welsh peaks, the majority of these mountains do not have paths or walkers' tracks up them, but the many excellent stalker's paths takes one deep into wild territory and often gives a flying start to an ascent. Walkers in Torridon have to accustom themselves to free-ranging over heather, grass, rock and marsh. In the sketch maps, stalker's and the other paths are shown as broken lines, the recommended free-ranging routes are shown as dotted lines. Most of the expeditions assume that you have transport, and those which do not require it are indicated and are written as though Shieldaig is the starting point. The 'climbs' often involve descending again by the route of your ascent, which builds in a considerable safety factor if you are new to the area and also the comfort and pleasure of returning over now familiar territory.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Guidebook to walking and mountainbiking in Scotland's Great Glen area, Monadhliath and Moray regions stretching from Fort William along the Great Glen and Lochs Lochy and Ness, book 6 in a series of 9 guides to the Scottish glens covering Fort William to Fort Augustus and Drumnadrochit, South West Monadhliath, North East Monadhliath and Moray. The aim of this series is to provide the mountainbiker and walker with information on an intended route so they know something of what to expect. One of the problems is that Ordnance Survey maps give no indication as to whether an ?other road' is metalled, a path or a forest fire break, or anything in between. Many bridges shown on OS maps do not exist. Rivers are difficult to judge in size from the map, and a building may be anything from a pile of stones to a maintained bothy. All is revealed without removing the sense of adventure and exploration. Gradient profiles help to assess how strenuous a route is, and each hand-drawn page contains a wealth of information. The object is to save leisure time from being wasted and enable the armchair explorer to plan ahead or relive experiences. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. "Cycle Touring in the French Alps" presents a personal selection of the most picturesque cycling routes through the mountains of Southeast France. The eight tours - seven circuits plus the "Grand Traverse" from Geneva to Nice - include the "classic" high passes of the French Alps (Galibier, Iseran, Izoard, etc) as well as many lesser known areas of the pre-Alps and Southern Jura. Although all of the tours are in mountain areas, the scenery - from the rolling hills of the Bugey to the dramatic limestone gorges of the Chartreuse or the snowy peaks of the Ecrins - is extremely varied. Without neglecting the "must-see" places, the tours have been designed to take you through the secret corners and forgotten backwaters of the regions described; even amongst the most awe-inspiring mountains, it is often the more discreet facets of the countryside that reveal an area's true charm.

Attitudes gradually change, and recently the need for local recreation areas has been accepted and thus the West Pennine Moors Recreation Area was born. The area covers 90 square miles and is predominantly high moorland divided by broad valleys and steep-sided wooded cloughs, many of which contain the reservoirs of the North West Water Authority. This combination of lake, wood and moor produces scenery, that is particularly fine in the western part, and gives some of the best walks, not only in terms of scenery, but of the interesting things to be seen.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The Gran Paradiso is well known to continental walkers but it is unusual to encounter any British walkers there and this guide has been written to show what is possible. An in-depth introduction describes many facets of the Valdotain hill country and deals with the differences likely to be found between walking in the UK and the Alps. The Via Alta 2 is a walk within the reach of any strong walker, covering 88 miles and 9000m of ascent, passing from valley to valley over high cols. The Via Alta 4 is more demanding undertaking over 106 miles with 9000m of ascent. Like the Via Alta 2, this passes from valley to valley but more into the heart of the mountains and close to the glaciers. The Traverse of the Gran Paradiso is described, though only the western portion of the route is given, also within the abilities of any strong walker. It passes through some very wild country, with little accommodation so that the walker has to be self contained. Finally, some shorter outings are described.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. A guidebook to the famous Coast to Coast walk first popularised by Alfred Wainwright. The walk from St Bees Head in Cumbria to Robin Hood's Bay on Yorkshire's east coast is now one of the most popular long-distance walks in Britain.

Paperback. Condición: Good. The guidebook has walks and climbs in the Picos de Europa, a limestone range to the north of the central section of the Cordillera Cantabrica, on the northern Atlantic shore of Spain, Europe. The Picos de Europa, Spain's premier National Park and a UNESCO Man and the Biosphere designated area, are unique among Europe's mountains: geologically, for being the largest single mass of mountain limestone in the continent; geographically, for being the only true maritime range Europe possesses; and sociologically, for retaining even to this day a large part of the culture that has for centuries been the basis of life in the towns and villages dotted around the area. Although relatively modest in terms of altitude and extent, the Picos are, nevertheless, high mountain terrain. The gentle pastures of the valleys quickly give way to spectacular but rugged alpine scenery. Approaches are steep, but the rewards for those able and willing to make the effort are immeasurable. Chapters 1-3 deal with background information such as geology, flora, fauna, history and technical issues. Chapter 4 describes valley-based activities and Chapter 5 offers detailed descriptions of walks, scrambles and alpine climbing from a number of different high-mountain bases. Suggestions are also given for multi-day walking tours and for winter mountaineering. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact.

Paperback. Condición: Fair. Even though increased mobility has extended the diversity (in terms of sights and sites) of beautiful countryside within range of the millions who inhabit middle England, the White Peak remains tremendously popular among casual walking visitors. The area offers an amiable landscape despite the vagaries of its climate, dissected by countless walls, abundant in pastures and woodland, its limestone outcrops completing the interplay of green and white. It also offers a well-maintained footpath network. The 'net' effect ensures that walkers feel at ease and relaxed in their wanderings as in few other places in England. The boundaries of this guide are defined on the east by the long spine of Axe Edge and Morridge, to the south by the Weaver Hills and Ashbourne, continuing north-eastward with the B5035 to Cromford and Matlock, cutting west via Youlgreave to Parsley Hay and Earl Sterndale back to the source of the Dove. This is predominantly limestone country, with only the shale uplands west of the upper Dove and lower Manifold and the gritstone of Harthill and Stanton Moors to lend contrast. To strong walkers, the selection of outings may seem of modest ambition, but for the majority of casual visitors they will be found to be of perfect length for refreshing exercise and a gentle introduction to this truly beautiful walking region.
