Paperback. Condición: New. From the original Mountain Bike Publisher, here comes a third and revised edition of the ever-popular "Mountain Bike Guide to Derbyshire and the Peak District" by local author Tom Windsor. This guide (as all future Ernest Press Guides will) features excellent design work from Graphic Designer Dean Taylor of "The Ride Journal". Dean's brief was to create a modern, easy to use and clean, uncluttered format which updates the Ernest Press guides enjoyed by riders over the past 20 years. With 29 routes covering the Dark and White Peaks, the revised "Derbyshire and the Peak District Guide" retains and updates iconic routes first introduced in 1991. A 'quickie' section has been added, consisting of five shorter routes - for when time is pressing. These complement the additional five full routes in this third and fully revised edition. Clear, attractive and accurate cartography and evocative photography assist the reader on their ride around some of the best UK Mountain Biking. The revised guide provides a wealth of information on bicycle choice and maintenance, the local bridleways, sources of local tourist information and ecological travel, where possible.This is the original mountain bike guide to this area, now in its third and revised edition. It is still the cheapest on the market.…

Well, take a trip back to the future with Pete Bursnall's fully updated version of North Wales' first proper mountain bike guidebook. It contains a carefully selected choice of 27 mountain bike routes, all of which cover real mountains, trails and bridleways beyond the bounds of the formal trail centres. The routes range in suitability from those new to the sport, through medium distance and difficulty and on to some real challenging expeditions to test your fitness, skills, navigation and even sense of humour - such as the epic 78km circuit of the Carneddau mountains.not to be undertaken lightly. This is pretty much where it all began, remembered fondly by those of us who explored the un-ridden on the first generation of fully rigid bikes in a time before helmets, decent brakes and smart phones. This edition was almost complete when Pete succumbed to cancer, which he fought furiously to the end. Matt Strickland took over the reigns, as he had been closely involved with the book, indeed featuring on the front cover.The 27 routes are in 7 areas - specifically Carneddau, Clwydian, Berwyn, Mignant and Moelwyn, Moel Siabod, Rhynnogau and Snowdon.

Hardback. Condición: New. This work presents the mountaineering literature. The perennial mystery of Mallory and Irvine on Everest receives an intriguing twist in a reconstruction of their fateful climb written virtually in Mallory's own words. Drawn from the climber's letters, writing and Mallory's background as a classicist, this is a near forensic examination of the evidence and points to one firm conclusion. The book is a prose poem full of parody and allusion but enjoyable at any level, in which the author offers his case for Mallory and Irvine having got to the top. There is a second half to the book, almost as interesting and of the same length as the first, in which the evidence for the first ascent is presented informatively and very persuasively. The book is bound to create a stir - its prose poem format, the strong parody element and the firm conclusion about Mallory and Irvine's success will all be controversial. The most detailed and convincingly presented account so far, of what happened on Mallory's last climb on Everest. It is quite unlike any other work of literature. And yes, it does have a surprise ending. It is shortlisted for the 2006 Boardman Tasker Award for mountaineering literature.…
