Cicerone Press Cycling London to Paris: The classic Dover/Calais
Book SynopsisThis guidebook describes two cycle routes between London and Paris: the 490km 'classic route' and the 387km Avenue Verte. Passing through rolling chalk downland and characterful market towns, the trails link these two great cities with their grand buildings, famous museums and iconic monuments. Ideal both for cycle-touring holidays and charity challenges, both routes are well within the capabilities of cyclists of moderate fitness and will generally take between five days and a week - meaning that a round trip, including a few days sightseeing in Paris, can easily be accomplished in a fortnight. The routes are described in both directions, with the primary route description running from London to Paris. The classic route is presented in eleven stages; the Avenue Verte in nine, with clear step-by-step directions accompanied by mapping, elevation profiles and notes on local points of interest. A comprehensive introduction covers all the practicalities, such as Channel crossings, accommodation and what to take, and also offers a fascinating historical overview of southern England and northern France. A summary of facilities, useful contacts and an English-French glossary can be found in the appendices. The classic route crosses the Channel between Dover and Calais and makes use of quiet country roads, rural tracks and dedicated cycle paths, with a number of off-road sections. Developed to celebrate the 2012 London Olympics, the Avenue Verte is fully waymarked and makes maximum use of Sustrans off-road cycle tracks in England and voies vertes (rural cycle routes) in France: it uses the slightly longer Newhaven-Dieppe crossing. Cycling from London to Paris draws on the best of both worlds: England and France; the bright lights and vibrant attractions of the city and the delightful scenery of Kent, Sussex, Hauts-de-France and Normandy. The journey offers a wonderful cycling experience, as well as a unique insight into the cultures of both nations.Table of ContentsMap key Overview map Route summary tables Introduction Background The routes Natural environment Preparation Getting there and back Navigation Accommodation Food and drink Amenities and services What to take Safety and emergencies About this guide Classic route (via Dover-Calais) Stage 1 Tower of London to Rochester Stage 2 Rochester to Ashford Stage 3 Ashford to Dover Stage 4 Calais to Desvres Stage 5 Desvres to Hesdin Stage 6 Hesdin to Abbeville Stage 7 Abbeville to Amiens Stage 8 Amiens to Beauvais Stage 9 Beauvais to Chantilly Stage 10 Chantilly to St Denis market Stage 11 St Denis market to Eiffel Tower Avenue Verte (via Newhaven-Dieppe) Stage 1 London Eye to Redhill Stage 2 Redhill to Eridge Stage 3 Eridge to Newhaven Stage 4 Dieppe to Neufch#xe2;tel-en-Bray Stage 5 Neufch#xe2;tel-en-Bray to Gournay-en-Bray Stage 6 Gournay-en-Bray to Gisors Stage 7 Gisors to Neuville-sur-Oise Stage 8 Neuville-sur-Oise to St Denis station Stage 9 St Denis station to Notre Dame cathedral Appendix A Facilities summary tables Appendix B Tourist information offices Appendix C Youth hostels Appendix D Useful contacts Appendix E Language glossary

Cicerone Press The Pennine Way - the Path, the People, the
Book SynopsisThis book presents a portrait of the Pennine Way, Britain's oldest and best known long-distance footpath, tracing its remarkable history through the experiences of walkers past and present. As Andrew McCloy walks the 268-mile route from the Derbyshire Peak District to the Scottish borders, he discovers how the Pennine Way set a benchmark for personal challenge and adventure and how reconnecting with wild places and the unhurried rhythm of the long walk continue to provide a much-needed antidote to our busy modern age. The resilience of the long distance walker is mirrored in the path's fascinating history: the initial struggle for access, battles to tame the bogs, later challenges of path erosion and the fluctuating circumstances of the rural hostel. Above all else however this is a book about Pennine Way people - from crusading ramblers to resourceful B&B landladies, hard working rangers to fanatical trail walkers. Their conversations and memories are woven into the narrative to give an account of the changing fortunes of the path and its special significance. Personal, thoughtful and often humorous, The Pennine Way - the Path, the People, the Journey is an exploration of our desire for challenge and adventure, the stimulation of wild places and how a long journey on foot through our own country still resonates today. It will appeal to people who have walked or are preparing to walk the Pennine Way, as well as to those with an interest in the history and legacy of this iconic path.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Overview map Introduction 1.

Cicerone Press Walking the Camino dos Faros: The Way of the
Book SynopsisThis guidebook explores the Camiño dos Faros (the Way of the Lighthouses), a 200km hike around the remote northwest corner of Spain. Starting in the old whaling town of Malpica and ending in Fisterra (Spain's Land's End), the eight day hike along the Costa da Morte follows a path that sticks limpet-like to the Atlantic coast. It's a spectacular walk along dramatic cliffs and around deep, verdant river estuaries, exploring the rich Galician culture and history. With stages between 18 and 29km per day, this is a hike suitable for walkers willing to undertake reasonably long days and the occasional scramble up and down beach paths. The guide provides in-depth descriptions of the route alongside clear mapping to aid navigation. It includes practical information for both before and during your trip, and details about wildlife and historic sites along the walk. In the back of the guide are a series of appendices listing accommodation, main Galician festivals, and useful contacts. The Camiño dos Faros follows the wild coast of the Costa da Morte, which is battered by storms racing in from the Atlantic. For shipping it is one of the world's most dangerous coastlines and its ominous name meaning 'the coast of death' is well deserved. 'Dos Faros' refers to a series of beautifully located lighthouses that attempt to warn sailors of the perils that await them. The sea has shaped the landscape and the Galician culture, and the locally caught seafood including razor clams and percebes should not be missed.Table of ContentsOverview map Map key Route summary table INTRODUCTION Camiño dos Faros - a Galician coastal walk Camiño dos Faros and the sea The Costa da Morte Flora and fauna What's the walking like?

Book SynopsisThe 1061km Loire Cycle Route starts at the source of the River Loire in the Massif Central mountains of central France and finishes at the Atlantic opposite St Nazaire. It descends past extinct volcanoes, crater lakes and deep gorges before joining EuroVelo route 6, followed by the fully waymarked Loire à Vélo, France's most popular cycle trail. Following the river downstream in 26 stages, the route is generally downhill or level, often on dedicated traffic-free cycle tracks. Packed with a wealth of useful information - from practical planning advice to fascinating insights about the river and its surroundings - the guidebook features detailed route descriptions and informative mapping. Details of facilities and places to stay, and a French glossary, are also included.

It passes through historic cities like Orléans and Tours, continuing past Angers and France's fourth largest city Nantes to finish on the Atlantic coast.Table of ContentsMap key Overview map Preface Route summary table Introduction Background The route Natural environment Preparation Getting there and back Navigation Accommodation Food and drink Amenities and services What to take Safety and emergencies About this guide The Loire Cycle Route Prologue Getting to the start Upper Loire Stage 1 Gerbier de Jonc to Goudet Stage 2 Goudet to Le Puy-en-Velay Stage 3 Le Puy-en-Velay to Retournac Stage 4 Retournac to Aurec-sur-Loire Stage 5 Aurec-sur-Loire to Feurs Stage 6 Feurs to Roanne Stage 7 Roanne to Digoin Middle Loire Stage 8 Digoin to Bourbon-Lancy Stage 9 Bourbon-Lancy to Decize Stage 10 Decize to Nevers Stage 11 Nevers to La Charit#xe9;-sur-Loire Stage 12 La Charit#xe9;-sur-Loire to Sancerre Stage 13 Sancerre to Briare Stage 14 Briare to Sully-sur-Loire Stage 15 Sully-sur-Loire to Orl#xe9;ans Lower Loire Stage 16 Orl#xe9;ans to Beaugency Stage 17 Beaugency to Blois Stage 18 Blois to Amboise Stage 19 Amboise to Tours Stage 20 Tours to Br#xe9;h#xe9;mont Stage 21 Br#xe9;h#xe9;mont to Saumur Stage 22 Saumur to Angers Stage 23 Angers to Montjean-sur-Loire Stage 24 Montjean-sur-Loire to Ancenis Stage 25 Ancenis to Nantes Stage 26 Nantes to St Brevin-les-Pins (St Nazaire) Appendix A Facilities summary Appendix B Tourist information offices Appendix C Youth hostels and gîtes d'#xe9;tape Appendix D Useful contacts Appendix E Language glossary

Cicerone Press Joss Naylor's Lakes, Meres and Waters of the Lake
Book SynopsisKing of the Fells. Iron man. Lake District fell running legend. Joss Naylor is all of these things and more. His achievements are astounding, his records stand the test of time. In 1983 he completed the 105-mile Lakes, Meres and Waters (LMW) route in a staggering 19hr 14min and to this day, describes it as one of the best routes he ever ran. High praise indeed and yet, so few know of it. Part guidebook, part inspirational regaling, this book interweaves tales of past and present as Naylor reflects on his 1983 epic on a re-walk 37 years later. In the company of award-winning author, Vivienne Crow, Naylor recalls that magical day, sharing stories and anecdotes from, not just his run, but the 1980s fell running scene, his working life and growing up in the Wasdale Valley. Naylor's tales, together with breathtaking photography, are accompanied by basic guide notes for the LMW route, sticking as closely to his 1983 run as possible. These notes divide the route into ten stages (ranging from 9 to 14 miles), allowing runners and walkers to follow in the footsteps of the King of the Fells, albeit on a more relaxed schedule. From Loweswater to Over Water, visiting 27 of the Lake District's largest bodies of water, the LMW route guarantees vistas of unparalleled beauty and an unforgettable experience in true fell country.Table of ContentsMap Key Overview map ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FOREWORD INTRODUCTION Chapter 1 Loweswater to Ennerdale Chapter 2 Ennerdale to Eskdale Green Chapter 3 Eskdale Green to Dunnerdale Chapter 4 Dunnerdale to Coniston Chapter 5 Coniston to Skelwith Bridge Chapter 6 Skelwith Bridge to Troutbeck Chapter 7 Troutbeck to Haweswater Chapter 8 Haweswater to Glenridding Chapter 9 Glenridding to Keswick Chapter 10 Keswick to Over Water Appendix A Marshals and split times for Joss's 1983 LMW Appendix B Glossary of dialect terms and topographical features Appendix C The 27 lakes, meres and waters Appendix D Route summary table Appendix E Some of Joss's challenge runs

Cicerone Press Bikepacking in the Lake District: Lakeland 200
Book SynopsisBikepacking is the off-road equivalent of cycle touring, often offering opportunities for wild camping in addition to the usual accommodation options for sleeping under a roof: it promises an unparalleled opportunity to immerse yourself in the environment as you explore the best of what the area has to offer on two wheels. This guide presents eight challenging 2–5 day rides in the Lake District, suitable for mountain bikes (some routes are also rideable on a gravel bike). All routes are accessible by public transport and many can be completed over a long weekend. They are graded from Moderate to Very Hard, although all involve considerable ascent and descent and sections where you may need to push or carry your bike – as such, they are suited to fit experienced riders. Clear route description, mapping and elevation profiles are supplemented with a wealth of planning information, including accommodation listings, notes on facilities, and summary details (including grades) for each individual section of the route. Also included are tips on food, kit and navigation and alternative itineraries. The routes combine roads, tracks, lanes and bridleways to take you among, around and over the Lakeland Fells, with highlights including the iconic road climbs of Hardknott, Wrynose, Whinlatter and Honister; the off-road passes of Sticks Pass, Stake Pass and Black Sail; and the highest bridleway in England over Helvellyn, England's third highest mountain. The guide also features the classic Lakeland 200, which can be ridden over 5 days or completed as an Individual Time Trial.

Book SynopsisThis guidebook offers all the information walkers need to enjoy the 344km (215 miles) of the Severn Way.

That walkers should want to trace its course, its many twists and turns, is hardly surprising, not least because of its capacity to offer countless challenges and plentiful delights. Walking the Severn Way is a chance to get away from it all and relax without having to resort to distant mountain regions.
