Lindsay Baker has fashioned a thoughtful and engaging examination of the culinary character of America’s celebrated Route 66.”—Peter Blodgett, author of Motoring West, Volume 1: Automobile Pioneers, 1900–1909“The best parts of any road trip are the memories the traveler brings home. With Eating Up Route 66, author T. Lindsay Baker offers Route 66 fans a chance to savor recipes from the Mother Road and experience (or re-experience) the flavor and texture of the road itself—from the topography and climate as it winds through the southwestern and midwestern United States to the often-eccentric people who spent their lives and earned their livings at the highway’s edge.”—Susan Croce Kelly, author of Route 66: The Highway and Its People and Father of Route 66: The Story of Cy Avery “T. Lindsay Baker takes readers on a unique trip down America’s favorite highway with a focus on one of the best ways to experience it—through the food. This is a must-read for American history lovers and foodies alike.”—Matt Pinnell, Seventeenth Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma“Fill your gas tank and bring your appetite. T.

Cicerone Press Walking the South West Coast Path: National Trail
Book SynopsisThe South West Coast Path National Trail (SWCP) measures a staggering 630 miles (1015km) from Minehead on the Somerset coast right round Devon and Cornwall to Poole in Dorset. The guidebook divides the route into 45 stages of between 12.5 to 37.5km, beginning and ending where amenities are available. Written by prolific outdoor writer Paddy Dillon, this guidebook is packed with lots of information for planning your walk, including clear step-by-step route descriptions and OS map extracts, public transport links, accommodation and facilities along the way. Also described is the 17-mile South Dorset Ridgeway, from West Bexington to Osmington Mills, which can be used as a scenic way to shave 42 miles off the total distance. This epic route takes in Exmoor National Park, five AONBs and the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, besides various nature reserves and SSSIs. No other stretch of coastline compares for scenic splendour, historical sites and availability of refreshments, accommodation and public transport, making it easy to split the South West Coast Path into week or weekend-long sections.Table of ContentsRoute summary table INTRODUCTION Planning your trip Itineraries When to go Travel to the South West Travel around the South West Accommodation en route Facilities en route Baggage transfer services One man and his dog What to take Planning day by day Using this guide Maps and GPS Time and tide Waymarking and paths Rescue services Safety on the Coast Path All about the region Geography Geology Plants and wildlife Culture Coastal walking through history A protected coastline THE SOUTH WEST COAST PATH Stage 1 Minehead to Porlock Weir Stage 2 Porlock Weir to Lynmouth Stage 3 Lynmouth to Combe Martin Stage 4 Combe Martin to Woolacombe Stage 5 Woolacombe to Braunton Stage 6 Braunton to Westward Ho!
