Book SynopsisThis guidebook presents four specially devised treks in the mountains of Greece, showcasing its beautiful scenery, rich flora and cultural interest. The Peloponnese Way crosses the Peloponnese peninsula from Dhiakoftó in the north to Pantazí beach in the south, via Trípoli. Taking in alpine meadows, a dramatic gorge and forest-clad slopes, the 220km route can be walked in around a fortnight. The 460km Pindos Way is a south-north traverse of Greece's mountain backbone, and can be walked in a month, or split into sections of around a week. With remote terrain, navigational challenge and fewer facilities on route, it is the toughest of the four treks but offers a unique chance to experience both the country's wilderness and traditional mountain life. A shorter 80km Zagóri trek can be enjoyed in its own right or incorporated into the Pindos Way, and the final route explores Mt Olympus, home of the ancient gods of Greek myth and the highest mountain in Greece. With clear mapping alongside detailed route description for each stage of the treks, as well as background information about the region and a Greek-English glossary.Table of ContentsMap key Overview map Foreword to 2018 edition Introduction Traditional mountain life A little history Flowers and wildlife Navigation and maps Sleeping and eating Dogs Getting on with people Weather and when to go What to take Emergency services Access to the mountains Using this guide Part 1 The Peloponnese Way Section 1 Dhiakoftó to Trípoli Stage 1 Dhiakoftó to M#xe9;ga Spílio monastery Stage 2 M#xe9;ga Spílio monastery to Áno Lousí Stage 3 Áno Lousí to Tourl#xe1;dha Stage 4 Near Tourl#xe1;dha to Dh#xe1;ra Stage 5 Nimfasía to Vitína Stage 6 Vitína to Kardhar#xe1;s or K#xe1;psia Stage 7 Kardhar#xe1;s or K#xe1;psia to Trípoli Section 2 Trípoli to Pantazí beach Stage 8 Psilí Vrísi to Áyios P#xe9;tros Stage 9 Malevís convent to Vamvakoú Stage 10 Vamvakoú to Paleogoul#xe1;s Stage 11 Mistr#xe1;s to Anavrití Stage 12 Anavrití to Taïgetos mountain refuge Stage 13 Taïgetos mountain refuge to Árna Stage 14 Árna to Pantazí beach Part 2 The Píndos Way Section 1 Ámfissa to Karpenísi Stage 1 Ámfissa to Víniani and Rek#xe1; ravine Stage 2 Mt Ghióna: Víniani to L#xe1;ka Karvoúni refuge Stage 3 L#xe1;ka Karvoúni refuge to Siki#xe1; Stage 4 Siki#xe1; to Athan#xe1;sios Dhi#xe1;kos/Áno Mousounítsa Stage 5 Mt Vardhoúsia: Athan#xe1;sios Dhi#xe1;kos/Áno Mousounítsa to Yiourt#xe1;ki sheepfold Stage 6 Yiourt#xe1;ki sheepfold to Mt Oxi#xe1;/Sar#xe1;dena refuge Stage 7 Mt Oxi#xe1;/Sar#xe1;dena refuge to Kok#xe1;lia obelisk/R#xe1;khes Timfristoú Stage 8 Kok#xe1;lia obelisk/R#xe1;khes Timfristoú to Karpenísi Section 2 Karpenísi to Mesokhóra Stage 9 Karpenísi to Kerasokhóri Stage 10 Kerasokhóri to Varvari#xe1;dha Stage 11 Varvari#xe1;dha to Epinian#xe1; Stage 12 Epinian#xe1; to Spili#xe1; monastery Stage 13 Spili#xe1; monastery to Petrotó Stage 14 Petrotó to Kalí Kómi Stage 15 Kalí Kómi to Moskhófito Stage 15A Kalí Kómi to Mirófilo Stage 16 Moskhófito to Mesokhóra Stage 16A Mirófilo to Mesokhóra Section 3 Mesokhóra to M#xe9;tsovo Stage 17 Mesokhóra to Gardhíki or Athamanía Stage 18 Gardhíki or Athamanía to Matsoúki Stage 19 Matsoúki to Kalarítes Stage 20 Kalarítes to Khalíki Stage 20A Kalarítes to Khalíki ridge route Stage 21 Khalíki to M#xe9;tsovo Section 4 M#xe9;tsovo to the Albanian border Stage 22 M#xe9;tsovo to V#xe1;lia K#xe1;lda Stage 23 V#xe1;lia K#xe1;lda to Vovoúsa Stage 24 Vovoúsa to Dhístrato Stage 24A Link: Vovoúsa to Skamn#xe9;li Stage 25 Dhístrato to Samarína Stage 25A Dhístrato to Palios#xe9;li Stage 26 Samarína to Dhrakólimni Stage 26A Palios#xe9;li to Dhrakólimni Stage 27 Dhrakólimni to Ayía Paraskeví/Ker#xe1;sovo Stage 28 Ayía Paraskeví/Ker#xe1;sovo to Kefalokhóri Stage 29 Kefalokhóri to Aetomilítsa/D#xe9;nsko Stage 30 Aetomilítsa/D#xe9;nsko to Mt Gr#xe1;mos summit Part 3 Zagóri and Mt Gamíla Stage 1 Tsep#xe9;lovo to Kípi via Kap#xe9;sovo and Koukoúli Stage 1A Tsep#xe9;lovo to Kípi via Khadzíou bridge Stage 2 Kípi to Monodh#xe9;ndhri Stage 3 Monodh#xe9;ndhri to P#xe1;pingo via Víkos gorge Stage 4 P#xe1;pingo to Astr#xe1;ka refuge Stage 5 Astr#xe1;ka refuge to Tsep#xe9;lovo or Kap#xe9;sovo Stage 5A Astr#xe1;ka refuge to Kónitsa Stage 6 Skamn#xe9;li to Kónitsa Part 4 Mt Olympus Stage 1 Priónia to Spílios Agapitós/Refuge A Stage 2 Spílios Agapitós/Refuge A to Mítikas and Yiósos Apostolídhis/Refuge B Stage 3 Yiósos Apostolídhis/Refuge B to Priónia Stage 4 Priónia to Litókhoro Appendix A Route summary tables Appendix B Glossary Appendix C Further reading Appendix D Useful contacts

The guide also offers comprehensive advice on public transport access and accommodation options, and background notes on each of the featured mountain regions.

Book SynopsisDubbed 'the mountain connoisseurs' walk', the Cambrian Way stretches 479km between the mighty castles of Cardiff in the south and Conwy on the north coast. Traversing the heartland of Wales, the challenging route crosses the Brecon Beacons, the Cambrian Mountains and Snowdonia, passing through two national parks and visiting many of the country's iconic summits, including Pen y Fan, Pumlumon, Cadair Idris and Snowdon itself. It can be walked in three weeks (or in shorter sections) and is suitable for experienced hillwalkers with sound navigational skills. The guide presents the route in 21 stages, offering comprehensive route description illustrated with OS 1:50,000 mapping and elevation profiles. Details of accommodation and facilities are provided, along with a helpful trek planner showing their distribution along the route: although the trail passes through remote areas, it is possible to stay under a roof every night - though camping is also a possibility, should you prefer. There are background notes on Wales's history and geology and local points of interest, and a glossary of Welsh place-names, useful contacts and accommodation listings can be found in the appendices. From the Black Mountains to the Rhinogau, Glyderau and Carneddau, the route takes in lofty ridges, striking peaks and picturesque lakes.

Book SynopsisA guidebook to trekking the Slovene Mountain Trail, crossing Slovenia from Austria to the Adriatic. The 550km route is presented in a series of 12 3 to 6-day treks of all levels of difficulty, all featuring start and finish points that can be accessed by public transport. They can be completed as single sections or linked to create a longer trip. Each day is graded: low-grade walking is mostly on tracks or lanes with no steep ascents, whereas the most difficult stages may involve steep and technical terrain including fixed protection or sections of via ferrata, for which a helmet, self-belaying equipment and the appropriate experience are required. In addition to clear route description and mapping, the guide provides all the practical information you will need to plan your trip, covering transport, accommodation and safety, as well as background notes on geology, plants and wildlife. From Maribor, close by the Austrian border in the north-east, to Ankaran on the Adriatic coast in the south-west, the route covers outstanding mountain and upland walking: the vast forested plateau of Pohorje, the sheer limestone peaks of the Julian and Kamnik-Savinja Alps with their via ferrata protected routes, the traditional alpine pastures and flower-strewn ridges of the Karavanke, and the forested hills and olive groves of the limestone karst country that stretch towards the coast.Table of ContentsMap key Overview map Introduction Landscape and geology Climate and weather Wildlife and flowers The route When to go Getting there Travelling within Slovenia Accommodation Food and drink Money and shopping Communications Health and hazards Language Maps Waymarking Equipment Mountain safety Using this guidebook The Slovene Mountain Trail Stage 1 Maribor to Slovenj Gradec Stage 2 Slovenj Gradec to Solčava Stage 3 Solčava to Zgornje Jezersko Stage 4 Zgornje Jezersko to Tržič Stage 5 Tržič to Dovje/Mojstrana Stage 6 Dovje/Mojstrana to Vršič Stage 7 Vršič to Trenta Stage 8 Trenta to Petrovo Brdo Stage 9 Petrovo Brdo to Idrija Stage 10 Idrija to Col Stage 11 Col to Matavun Stage 12 Matavun to Ankaran Appendix A Bibliography Appendix B The Slovene language Appendix C Transport to and facilities at the stage start points Appendix D Hut telephone numbers Appendix E Route summary table

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
