Book SynopsisThis guide presents Switzerland's Jura Crest Trail or Crêtes du Jura (also known as the Jura High Route and Swiss national route 5. This 310km long-distance route traverses the sub-alpine mountains of the Swiss Jura from Dielsdorf near Zurich to Nyon on the shores of Lac Léman (Lake Geneva), running roughly parallel to the Swiss-French border. With over 13,500m of ascent, the trail demands a moderate level of fitness and can be comfortably completed in around a fortnight. The Jura Crest Trail is easily accessed from Zurich and Geneva. The region boasts excellent walking infrastructure and facilities, and although the trail crosses the mountains, you are seldom too far from civilisation. The guide contains all the information you need to plan and walk the route. You'll find advice on transport and comprehensive details of accommodation and refreshments. The trek itself is presented from east to west in 14 stages of 12-32km, with step-by-step route description accompanied by clear mapping and notes on local points of interest. The Jura Crest Trail boasts far-reaching views of the Bernese Oberland, the Haute Savoie and the Rhine and Rhone Valleys, and is rich in geological, natural and historical interest. Passing through woodland and alpine meadows and crossing rolling limestone plateaux, highlights include the spectacular amphitheatre of the Creux du Van, the medieval towns of Baden and Brugg, and Lac de Joux, the largest lake in the Jura mountains.Table of ContentsMountain safety Route summary table Map key Overview map Introduction The Jura High Route Geology of the Jura mountains World War II and the Jura mountains Flowers of the Jura mountains When to go Suggested itineraries Getting there and around Accommodation Food and drink Language Money What to take Maps Waymarking and trails Safety in the mountains Using this guide The Jura High Route (East to West) Stage 1 Dielsdorf to Neustalden Stage 2 Neustalden to Hauenstein Stage 3 Hauenstein to Balsthal Stage 4 Balsthal to Weissenstein Stage 5 Weissenstein to Frinvillier Stage 6 Frinvillier to Chasseral Stage 7 Chasseral to Vue des Alpes Stage 8 Vue des Alpes to Noiraigue Stage 9 Noiraigue to Sainte-Croix Stage 10 Sainte-Croix to Vallorbe Stage 11 Vallorbe to Col du Mollendruz Stage 12 Col du Mollendruz to Col du Marchairuz Stage 13 Col du Marchairuz to Saint-Cergue Stage 14 Saint-Cergue to Nyon Appendix A Accommodation Appendix B Useful contacts Appendix C Glossary

Book SynopsisThis guide describes 27 short treks of 2-6 days and 10 day walks in the mountains of Romania. Although there is a slight focus on Transylvania, most of the main massifs are included, with chapters covering the Mountains of Maramures, the Eastern Carpathians, the mountains around Brasov, the Fagara?, the region between the Olt and the Jiu, the Retezat, the mountains of Banat and the Apuseni. Also included is an ascent of Moldoveanu, Romania's highest peak at 2544m.There is a wealth of advice to help you plan your trip and organise the logistics of your walk or trek. Some routes avail of the network of mountain huts; others offer opportunities to camp in attractive wild locations. Overviews and a route summary table make it easy to choose an appropriate excursion. Each route includes clear description and mapping, as well as notes on accommodation and access (some can be accessed by public transport, although others require either pre-arranged pick-up or hitchhiking). There are fascinating insights into Romania's colourful culture and history and appendices containing hut listings, useful contacts and a helpful glossary.The graded routes are as varied as Romania's diverse landscapes. They take in rolling hills, craggy karst peaks, glacial lakes and Europe's last virgin forests, with other highlights including Transylvanian castles, wooden churches, the Piatra Craiului ridge and the spectacular Sapte Scari (Seven Ladders) and Turda Gorges. Historic towns such as the medieval towns of Brasov and Sibiu and the spa resort of Vatra Dornei offer easy access to the mountains; other routes visit remote villages that have changed little over the centuries, where self-sufficiency is still very much the way of life. All in all, the guide is a perfect companion to discovering the unspoilt beauty of Romania's enchanting mountain regions.Table of ContentsMap key Overview map Author preface Introduction Geography Vegetation and wildlife History Language Culture Climate When to go What to take Getting there Local transport Accommodation Food and drink Health and safety Money Staying in touch National parks Rules and regulations Maps Waymarking Water, food and other supplies Using this guide The Mountains of Maramureş The Rodna Mountains Route 1 Șetref Pass to Rotunda Pass The Gut#xe2;i and Ţibleş Mountains Route 2 Breb-Creasta Cocoşului-Neteda Pass Route 3 Groşii Ţibleşului to Arcer, Ţibleş and Bran Peaks The Munţii Maramureşului Route 4 Repedea to Prislop Pass The Eastern Carpathians The Land of Dorna Route 5 The Suhard Route 6 The Rarău-Giumalău Route 7 The Călimani The Ceahlău Route 8 Izvorul Muntelui to Durau The Hăşmaş Massif and Lacu Roşu Route 9 Bălan to Lacu Roşu The mountains around Braşov The Postăvaru Massif Route 10 Braşov to R#xe2;snov The Piatra Mare Massif Route 11 D#xe2;mbu Morii-Piatra Mare Peak via Șapte Scări Gorge Route 12 Timişu de Sus-Cabana Piatra Mare via Tamina Gorge The Baiului and Grohotiş Route 13 A north-south traverse of the Baiului Route 14 Across the Baiului and Grohotiş The Ciucaş Massif Route 15 Cheia to Bratocea Pass The Bucegi Mountains Route 16 Poiana Braşov to Omu Peak Route 17 Into the Bucegi from the Prahova Valley The Piatra Craiului Mountains Route 18 The Northern Ridge Route 19 The Southern Ridge The Făgăraş Mountains The Iezer-Păpuşa Massif Route 20 The Iezer-Păpuşa Circuit Route 21 From the Iezer-Păpuşa to the Făgăraş The Făgăraş Chain Route 22 Traversing the Făgăraş from east to west From the Olt to the Jiu The Cindrel and the Par#xe2;ng Route 23 From Păltiniş to Stațiunea Par#xe2;ng The Cozia Route 24 The Cozia Circuit The Buila-V#xe2;nturariţa Route 25 Cheia Village-Buila-V#xe2;nturariţa ridge-Băile Olăneşti The Retezat Mountains The Retezat Route 26 C#xe2;rnic to Cabana Gura Zlata via Bucura Lake Route 27 Poiana Pelegii to C#xe2;rnic via Bucura Lake The V#xe2;lcan Massif Route 28 From the V#xe2;lcan to the Retezat The Ţarcu, Godeanu and Retezatul Mic Route 29 Jigora Saddle to Cabana Buta The Mountains of Banat The Domogled-Valea Cernei national park Route 30 Băile Herculane to Domogled Peak and back Route 31 Băile Herculane to St#xe2;nca lui Sisi and back The Semenic Route 32 The gorges of the Semenic The Apuseni Mountains The Trascău and Muntele Mare Route 33 The Gorges of the Trascău Route 34 Poşaga de Jos-Scăriţa Belioara-Runc Route 35 Runc-Scăriţa Belioara-Lunca Largă-Runc The Padiş Region Route 36 Statiunea V#xe2;rtop-Cetăţile Ponorului-Padiş-Pietroasa Route 37 G#xe2;rda de Sus-Scărişoara ice cave-Padiş-Cabana Varasoaia-St#xe2;na de Vale Appendix A Route summary table Appendix B Accommodation Appendix C Useful contacts Appendix D Language notes and glossary

Book SynopsisThe Southern Upland Way is Scotland's coast-to-coast walk and the longest of the nation's Great Trails. 215 miles long, it links the pretty harbour village of Portpatrick on the west coast with Cockburnspath, a little south of Dunbar, in the east. The walk is at times a strenuous one, crossing the remote high moorland of the Galloway Hills, Carsphairn range, Lowthers, Ettrick Hills and Lammermuirs, calling for competence, fitness and self-reliance. This guide presents advice on how best to plan and tackle this challenging but highly rewarding journey. The waymarked trail is presented in fourteen stages of 9-19 miles and suggestions for a rest day exploring Moffat and its environs are also included. It is possible either to backpack, taking advantage of five bothies and unlimited wild camping possibilities, or to stay in towns and hill villages, B&Bs and inns (facilitated by vehicle pick-up to avoid excessively long walking days). The guide covers all the practicalities, with tips on planning, transport, accommodation, luggage transfer and vehicle support services. Clear step-by-step route description is provided for each stage, accompanied by 1:50,000 OS mapping and notes on local history and points of interest. A trek planner and useful contacts can be found in the appendices. The Southern Upland Way showcases the wild beauty of southern Scotland, taking in rugged moorland, rolling hills, wooded river valleys, lochsides and coast, as well as some of the attractive border towns that scatter the region. There are also numerous historical sites, offering an insight into a fascinating past - from ancient cairns to bastles, Covenanters' memorials and literary connections - plus opportunities to visit local attractions, including Castle Kennedy Gardens, Wanlockhead Lead Mining Museum, Traquair House, Melrose Abbey and Thirlestane Castle.Table of ContentsMap key Overview map Route summary table Introduction The Southern Upland Way West to east or east to west?

Book SynopsisThe GR7 is one of Europe's longest GR long-distance routes, stretching from Tarifa, the southernmost town of continental Europe, through Spain, Andorra and France to Alsace. This guide presents the Andalucian section of the route, which offers well over 700km of fantastic walking through the diverse landscapes of one of Spain's most evocative regions. The route splits at the small village of Villanueva de Cauche, and the guide describes both the northern and southern variants. Although walking is on good footpaths, country tracks and, occasionally, minor roads, some of the stages are long and can involve considerable ascent, meaning that a good level of fitness is required. The full Andalucian GR7 takes well over a month to walk; however, the guide also includes suggestions for highlight sections that can be walked in a week or fortnight. In addition to clear route description, mapping and elevation profiles, the guide provides background information on local history, plants and wildlife, and advice for planning your trip, such as when to go, what to take and where to stay. The route showcases Andalucia's rich history and culture and varied landscapes, which include pine forests, semi-arid desert, snow-capped peaks, fertile plains, lush valleys, olive groves, cultivated terraces and hills of cork woodland. Historic towns and traditional whitewashed villages offer overnight accommodation and a chance to sample local cuisine.Table of ContentsMap key Overview map Route summary table Author's preface Introduction The GR7/E4 Andalucia The GR7 in Andalucia Shorter itineraries Historical context Plants and wildlife When to go Getting there Getting back Luggage transfer Accommodation Food and drink Water Equipment Money Language Waymarking Maps and GPS Staying safe Using this guide The common route Cadiz province Stage 1 Tarifa to Los Barrios Stage 2 Los Barrios to Castillo de Castellar Stage 3 Castillo de Castellar to Jimena de la Frontera Stage 4 Jimena de la Frontera to Ubrique Stage 5 Ubrique to Montejaque via Villaluenga del Rosario Malaga province Stage 6 Montejaque to Arriate via Ronda Stage 7 Arriate to Ardales Stage 8 Ardales to El Chorro Stage 9 El Chorro to Valle de Abdalajis Stage 10 Valle de Abdalajis to Antequera Stage 11 Antequera to Villanueva de Cauche The northern variant Stage 12A Villanueva de Cauche to Villanueva del Trabuco Stage 13A Villanueva del Trabuco to Villanueva de Tapia Stage 14A Villanueva de Tapia to Villanueva de Algaidas Stage 15A Villanueva de Algaidas to Cuevas de San Marcos Cordoba province Stage 16A Cuevas de San Marco to Rute Stage 17A Rute to Priego de Cordoba Stage 18A Priego de Cordoba to Almedinilla Stage 19A Almedinilla to Alcala La Real Jaen province Stage 20A Alcala la Real to Frailes Stage 21A Frailes to Carchelejo Stage 22A Carchelejo to Cambil Stage 23A Cambil to Torres Stage 24A Torres to Bedmar Stage 25A Bedmar to Jodar Stage 26A Jodar to Quesada Stage 27A Quesada to Cazorla Stage 28A Cazorla to Vadillo Castril Stage 29A Vadillo Castril to Coto Rios Stage 30A Coto Rios to Pontones Stage 31A Pontones to Santiago de la Espada Stage 32A Santiago de la Espada to Puebla de Don Fadrique The southern variant Stage 12B Villanueva de Cauche to Riogordo Stage 13B Riogordo to Ventas de Zafarraya Granada province Stage 14B Ventas de Zafarraya to Alhama de Granada Stage 15B Alhama de Granada to Arenas del Rey Stage 16B Arenas del Rey to Jayena Stage 17B Jayena to Albunuelas Stage 18B Albunuelas to Niguelas Stage 19B Niguelas to Lanjaron Stage 20B Lanjaron to Soportujar Stage 21B Soportujar to Pitres Stage 22B Pitres to Trevelez Stage 23B Trevelez to Cadiar Stage 24B Cadiar to Yegen Stage 25B Yegen to Laroles Stage 26B Laroles to Puerto de la Ragua via Bayarcal Stage 27B Puerto de la Ragua to La Calahorra Stage 28B La Calahorra to Narvaez via Charches Stage 29B Narvaez to Zujar Stage 30B Zujar to Benamaurel Stage 31B Benamaurel to Cullar Stage 32B Cullar to Orce Stage 33B Orce to Huescar Stage 34B Huescar to Puebla de Don Fadrique Appendix A Facilities table Appendix B Spanish-English glossary Appendix C Further information Appendix D Further reading

Book SynopsisThe Alta Via 1 is one of Italy's most famous and most popular long-distance routes and is the easiest of six Alta Via routes that traverse the magnificent Dolomites. The hut-to-hut trail extends 115km from Lago di Braies to La Pissa, boasting spectacular alpine vistas. Although it demands a moderate level of fitness, it is well waymarked and follows clear well-trodden paths, making for an ideal introduction to trekking in the Dolomites. Welcoming refuges offer meals and accommodation along the way, though camping is also possible on the middle stages (restrictions apply elsewhere). The route is presented in 11 stages, each with overview statistics, a brief summary of the day's walking and detailed route description illustrated with clear mapping. There are also comprehensive notes on the huts the route passes, with contact details and tips on facilities available. The intro includes advice on transport, accommodation and equipment, plus suggestions for creating shorter itineraries should time be limited, and there are facts about local points of interest and background information on the region's geology, plants and wildlife. A handy map booklet is also included, showing the full route of AV1 on 1:25,000 Kompass mapping, so you don't have to carry paper maps. Famed for their striking jagged peaks and sheer rock faces, the Dolomites also bear stark reminders of the turbulent World War I years in the shape of trenches and barracks. The AV1 is a wonderful way to experience the celebrated scenery: (weather permitting) an estimated 80% of the Dolomites can be seen from the trail, with highlights including fantastic views of the Tofane, Pelmo and Civetta and the iconic Marmolada with its glacier. If this is your first visit to the region, you'll soon see why so many fall under its spell!Table of ContentsMap key Overview map Route summary table Preface to this edition Introduction The Dolomites The route Geology Plants and flowers Wildlife How to get there When to go Shorter itineraries Accommodation Food and drink What to take Maps Languages and place names Dos and don'ts Emergencies Using this guide Alta Via 1 Stage 1 Lago di Braies to Rifugio Biella Stage 2 Rifugio Biella to Rifugio Fanes Stage 3 Rifugio Fanes to Rifugio Lagazuoi Stage 4 Rifugio Lagazuoi to Rifugio Nuvolau Stage 5 Rifugio Nuvolau to Rifugio Citt#xe0; di Fiume Stage 6 Rifugio Citt#xe0; di Fiume to Rifugio Coldai Stage 7 Rifugio Coldai to Rifugio Vazzoler Stage 8 Rifugio Vazzoler to Rifugio Carestiato Stage 9 Rifugio Carestiato to Rifugio Pramperet Stage 10 Rifugio Pramperet to Rifugio Pian de Fontana Stage 11 Rifugio Pian de Fontana to La Pissa bus stop Appendix A Useful contacts Appendix B Italian-English glossary

Book SynopsisThere are few destinations in Europe where you can enjoy typical 'summer' outdoor pursuits in the middle of winter. However, Spain's Costa Blanca is one such place and the range and quality of activities on offer is outstanding. This multi-activity guide presents a handpicked selection of 60 ridge routes, via ferratas, canyons, sport-climbing crags, trad-climbing crags, hikes, trail runs and road-cycling routes to inspire keen adventurers to explore the region's striking ridges, peaks, crags and barrancos (canyons). A broad spectrum of activities is covered - although since many of the routes involve climbing skills and rope-work, the guide is particularly well suited to climbers interested in a multi-activity holiday - and there are plenty of mid-grade options. Although quieter in winter, Costa Blanca is well served for accommodation and facilities, with easy access from Alicante. The guide includes plenty of useful information to help you plan your holiday and directions to help you locate the start-point for each activity. All of the activities are clearly graded and include route description and mapping and - for the climbing routes and via ferratas - photo topos illustrating the line of the route. Handy tables summarise the key information, making it easy to choose an activity to suit. With inspiring colour photography to whet your appetite, Costa Blanca Mountain Adventures is the perfect companion to discovering the adventures that await in this bounteous region.Table of ContentsRegional overview map Map key Key to photo topos Overview map 1: Ridges, via ferratas and canyons Overview map 2: Sport and trad climbing Overview map 3: Hiking, trail running and road cycling Introduction Landscape Plants and wildlife When to go Getting there Getting around Accommodation Food and drink Language Maps Waymarking and access Health and safety Using this guide Ridges Route 1 Toix Ridge Integral (Este y Oeste) Route 2 Bernia Ridge Route 3 Sierra Ferrer Ridge Route 4 Segaria Ridge Route 5 Cresta del Migdia Route 6 El Realet/Alt del Castellet Route 7 Cresta del Canelobre, Cabezón de Oro Route 8 Forada Ridge Route 9 Benicadell Ridge Route 10 Arista al Forat de la Forada Route 11 Cresta dels Bardals, Serrella Route 12 Cresta del Castellar Route 13 Cresta del Maigmó Via ferratas Route 14 Penya del Figueret Route 15 Ponoch (Ponoig) Route 16 El Cid Route 17 Redov#xe1;n Route 18 Callosa de Segura Route 19 Castillo Salvatierra Route 20 Aventador Canyons Route 21 Barranco del Pas de Tancat Route 22 Barranco del Infierno Route 23 Barranco dels Llidoners and de Racons Route 24 Barranco del Pas de Calvo Route 25 Barranco del Parent Route 26 Barranco de l'Estret de Cardos Route 27 Barranco de Mascarat Route 28 Barranco del Curt o Pas de Bandolers Sport climbing Route 29 Alcalalí Route 30 Los Cerezos Route 31 Sierra de Toix Route 32 Candelabra del Sol Route 33 Morro Falquí Route 34 Ambolo Route 35 L'Atzúbia (Adsubia) Route 36 Sector Cuevas, Cabezón de Oro Trad climbing Route 37 Aristotles and Pepsi Crest, Puig Campana Route 38 Espolón Central, Puig Campana Route 39 The Edwards Finish, Puig Campana Route 40 Via Gene, Cabezón de Oro Route 41 Arista Agullo, Cabezón de Oro Route 42 Via Esther and Scorpion, Vall de Gulabdar Route 43 Via Pany, El Peñón de Ifach Hiking Route 44 Mallada del Llop and El Regall Route 45 Cova del Dalt and Es Crestall Route 46 Xanchet circuit Route 47 Bernia circuit and fort Trail running Route 48 Castell d'Axia Route 49 Aixorta and Les Arcs Route 50 Corral de la Llacuna Route 51 Les Arcs and Raco Roig Route 52 Castell de Granadella Route 53 Sierra de Olta Route 54 Puig Campana Route 55 Penya Gros and Forada Route 56 Barranco del Infierno circuit Road cycling Route 57 Col de Rates, Tarbena and Castell de Castells Route 58 Vall de Gallinera and Vall d'Ebo Route 59 Bernia circuit Route 60 Serrella and Aitana circuit Appendix A Activity summary table Appendix B Useful contacts Appendix C Castilian - Valencian - English glossary Appendix D Further reading Appendix E Climbing grades comparison table

Also known as Route 72, this coast-to-coast route heads north up the Cumbrian coast to reach the Solway AONB before crossing northern England along Hadrian's Wall and into Northumberland. Suitable for cyclists of all abilities, the ride is usually completed over three days from west to east. The route allows cyclists to explore Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site, visiting Roman forts including Vindolanda and Housesteads as well as milecastles, abbeys and historic towns. Other highlights include the Cumbrian coast, Tyne Valley and the famous Sycamore Gap. While the main route is described from west to east over three days, the guide provides plenty of information about other options. Advice is given at the end of each stage about how to complete the route from east to west, as the route can be used in connection with other coast to coast routes to create week-long round trips. Other itineraries include a two-day Wall Only ride from Bowness-on-Solway to South Shields, and a 'More Wall Alternative' to Day 2. The guide also features extensive listings of accommodation, bike shops and other cyclist-friendly facilities.Table of ContentsMap key Overview map and profile Route summary tables Introduction Why choose Hadrian's Cycleway?

Book SynopsisGuide to the John o' Groats Trail, a 233km walking route linking Inverness with John o' Groats on the northeast tip of mainland Britain. Much of the walking is coastal, with the northern half characterised by its spectacular seacliffs; however, there is some inland walking too, and the scenery is varied, ranging from dunes and deserted sandy beaches to beautiful woodland. With rough ground and some exposed clifftop walking, the route is suited to experienced hikers. It takes around a fortnight to complete. The route is described in 14 stages, each of which includes: an overview map; step-by-step route description illustrated with custom mapping; details of accommodation, facilities and transport links; and information on local points of interest. While the main route description is from south to north, notes are supplied for southbound walkers. Also included is a bonus route linking the trail with the Great Glen, for the benefit of walkers undertaking the Land's End to John o' Groats challenge. There is a wealth of information to help you plan for the John o' Groats Trail, including advice on transport, weather, hazards and kit, and background notes on geology and wildlife. This challenging route crosses a part of the country that not many walkers are familiar with. There are plentiful opportunities to spot wildlife and seabirds, with grey seals, common seals and ospreys a common sight. There are ruined medieval castles on the cliff edges, as well as many sea arches and stacks. John o' Groats is renowned as mainland Britain's most northeasterly village and the John o' Groats Trail offers a chance to experience this fascinating and beautiful corner of the country.Table of ContentsOverview map Key to stage overview maps Key to stage maps Route summary table Introduction The terrain in more detail The hazards of the Trail Transport links Access considerations Accommodation Equipment Wildlife Climate and day length Geology Using this guide The John o' Groats Trail Stage 1 Inverness to Culbokie Stage 2 Culbokie to Alness Stage 3 Alness to Tain Stage 4 Tain to Dornoch Stage 5 Dornoch to Golspie Stage 6 Golspie to Brora Stage 7 Brora to Helmsdale Stage 8 Helmsdale to Berriedale Stage 9 Berriedale to Dunbeath Stage 10 Dunbeath to Lybster Stage 11 Lybster to Whaligoe Stage 12 Whaligoe to Wick Stage 13 Wick to Keiss Stage 14 Keiss to John o' Groats Bonus tracks Stage A1 Drumnadrochit to Beauly Stage A2 Beauly to Dingwall Stage A3 Dingwall to Alness Appendix A Useful contacts

Book SynopsisWith spectacular mountain landscapes, beautiful rugged coast, forests, maquis and striking river gorges, Corsica is a walker's paradise. This guidebook details five of the islands's most popular shorter treks: the 2-day coastal Sentier du Douanier (Customs Officer's Path) around Cap Corse; two coast-to-coast routes through the central mountains, the 11-day Mare a Mare Nord and the 5-day Mare a Mare Sud; and two 'coast and mountains' routes, the 10-day Mare e Monti and the 5-day Mare e Monti Sud. (Corsica's famous 190km GR20 trail is described in a separate Cicerone guide.) The routes can be linked to create longer excursions and accommodation is provided by a mixture of walkers' hostels, B&Bs and hotels; camping is also an option. The guide presents each of the waymarked trails in daily stages averaging around 12-13km per day, with route description, mapping and notes on accommodation options. There is advice on how to get to Corsica, when to go and what to take, plus accommodation listings, useful contacts and a French/Corsican-English glossary. The guide also offers a wealth of information about the island's rich plant and wildlife. Considerably easier than the challenging GR20, these trails offer a more accessible option for trekkers wishing to experience the 'real' Corsica, away from the bustling coastal resorts. You'll find enchanting scenery - towering forests, gushing cascades, turquoise coves, aromatic maquis, rugged mountains and quiet villages nestling on hillsides of chestnut woods - not to mention a favourable climate and delicious local cuisine. Don't be surprised if you fall under the island's spell!Table of ContentsMap key Overview map Route summary table Introduction The treks Corsica Plant life Wildlife When to go Getting to Corsica Local transport Accommodation Food and drink What to take Waymarking and maps Emergencies Using this guide The treks Trek 1 Sentier du Douanier: Cap Corse Trek 2 Mare e Monti: Calenzana to Carg#xe8;se Trek 3 Mare a Mare Nord: Carg#xe8;se to Moriani Plage Trek 4 Mare a Mare Sud: Porto-Vecchio to Burgu Trek 5 Mare e Monti Sud: Burgu to Porticcio Appendix A Useful contacts Appendix B Accommodation Appendix C Glossary of French and Corsican terms Appendix D Further reading

Book SynopsisThe 72 mile (116km) Ribble Way is described in seven stages, ranging from 8.25 to 17 miles (13.3 to 27.4km). The route follows the Ribble valley, from the estuary mouth near Preston to the river's source on Cam Fell in the Yorkshire Dales. The route might not be the most challenging of Long Distance routes, but the contrast through a succession of different landscapes can be immensely satisfying for novice and experienced walkers alike.The guide provides detailed route descriptions, OS mapping and a route summary table, with variants included for day walkers. Information is included on points of interest along the route, plus there's also background information on the landscape, wildlife, and history, and planning details on when to go, where to stay and what to take.The River Ribble springs from the limestone of the Yorkshire Dales, high on Cam Fell in the heart of Three Peak country. Initially forcing a passage between high, rugged moorland hills, it then breaks free to wind through gentler countryside south of Settle, meandering lazily through alternating pasture and ancient woodland, where old manor houses and early 18th-century village cottages still hold sway against the pervasive tide of modernity. Beyond Preston, the river dramatically changes yet again, trained to run straight to the Irish Sea, but further to the west, a vast expanse of the salt marsh still remains and attracts huge populations of birds, particularly in winter.
