Book Synopsis''A wonderful read... It''s one of those books that gives you a new pair of eyes to see the world in a different way. I''ve been transported by it... You''ll love every minute, the writing is absolutely beautiful.'' - Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall From the bestselling author of THE WALKER''S GUIDE TO OUTDOOR CLUES AND SIGNSA must-have book for walkers, sailors, swimmers, anglers and everyone interested in the natural world, in How To Read Water, Natural Navigator Tristan Gooley shares knowledge, skills, tips and useful observations to help you enjoy the landscape around you and learn about the magic of the outdoors from your living room.Includes over 700 clues, signs and patterns. From wild swimming in Sussex to wayfinding in Oman, via the icy mysteries of the Arctic, Tristan Gooley draws on his own pioneering journeys to reveal the secrets of ponds, puddles, rivers, oceans and more to show us all the skills we need to Trade ReviewThis inspired guide to water in all its forms will make a big splash...Gooley has done his subject proud - this is seriously fascinating stuff. * The Times *This study of the behaviour of rivers, lakes and seas brims over with astonishing facts... His observational skills can be breathtaking... Gooley's infectious delight in knowledge translates into a gleeful hoarding of words... The joy of these words and phenomena is that they make you yearn to observe them in the real world... Gooley even manages to explain tides coherently and excitingly in just 14 pages, which is quite some feat, given that they are a lot more complicated than being a mere effect of the moon's gravity. * The Sunday Times *Quite apart from being well written and an enjoyable read, there is plenty in the book that is revelatory. * The Royal Institute of Navigation *He writes with passion, humour and clarity and engages so deeply with the tributaries of inquiry that reading it feels as exhilarating as being towed by a dolphin...There's so much here that I can't do it justice; chapters on water at night; currents and tides; reading waves; the coast. This is an absolute gem of a book. A must-have for anyone who loves the water. * The Outdoor Swimming Society *The goal of the author is to have his readers never look at water the same way after reading this book. He has certainly achieved his objective and I doubt I will now ever be able to walk past a lake or even a pond without checking for surface patterns. * thebookbag.co.uk *The quirks and habits and secrets of good old H2O were crying out to have a book written about them. That said, it had to be written by the right person... Fortunately, the job went to Tristan Gooley... His tales recount wisdom gathered on the ground (literally), often by trial and error, and his joy at discovering something almost makes you feel you did the work yourself... The book doesn't just cover the rural sections of the waterfront: urban dwellers get a look-in too. * The Spectator *Gooley, who has single-handedly been reviving natural navigation in this age of GPS, has the birdwatching skills of Bill Oddie and the deductive powers of Sherlock Holmes. He can make you feel that you've spent half your life walking about with your eyes only half-open. He does it again with this fascinating guide to watching and interpreting water, everywhere from the garden pond to the Pacific. * Telegraph *Tristan Gooley's lovely and exhaustively researched book...if you like water, as I do, you will learn a lot. * Wall Street Journal *Anyone who spends time in, on, or by, water - whether at the helm of a narrowboat or merely playing Poohsticks with grandkids - will benefit from some of the extraordinary insights in this book. * Waterways World *

Book SynopsisOver fifty years ago, renowned British hillwalker and guidebook author Alfred Wainwright described 214 peaks in the English Lake District in his seven-volume illustrated Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells. Like the Munros in Scotland, bagging all the Wainwrights has become a popular and significant challenge for walkers and runners, often taking many years in fits and starts because of the absence of a clear plan for how to link them together. With this problem in mind, Peak Bagging: Wainwrights by Karen and Dan Parker features forty-five routes designed to link up these iconic fells so you can enjoy the challenge of completing them at your own pace – over years, months or even just a few weeks. It presents not only the most efficient routes for completing the Wainwrights as quickly as possible, but does so in such a way that each route is a fantastic walk or run in its own right. The featured routes include a round of the Scafells, and the Glenridding Horseshoe, taking in Helvellyn and Catstycam. The routes are split into seven sections, reflecting Wainwright’s seven Pictorial Guides, and to simplify logistics, all of the featured routes are circular with an emphasis on making practical links between the summits. In addition, the book is packed with useful information, including 1:40,000-scale maps, elevation profiles, public transport and parking details, refreshments, downloadable GPX files for each route and custom timings for walkers, trekkers, fastpackers and runners. Also included are overview details of Steve Birkinshaw’s then-record-breaking sub-seven-day Wainwrights run in 2014 – current record holder Sabrina Verjee completed the round in under six days. Whatever your timescale for completing the 214 Wainwrights, Peak Bagging: Wainwrights is the indispensable guide to this British hill challenge.Table of ContentsIntroduction by Steve BirkinshawAbout the book SafetyEastern Fells01 Fairfield Horseshoe 19.1km02 Glenridding Horseshoe 16.4km03 Deepdale Horseshoe 16.5km04 The Dodds 18.1km05 The Dunmail Loop 12.5km06 A Tour of Matterdale 16.1kmFar Eastern Fells07 Hayeswater Circuit 18.7km08 Troutbeck 19.4km09 Fusedale Circuit 15.0km10 Kirkstone North 15.4km11 Mardale Skyline 16.9km12 Longsleddale 12.6km13 Angle Tarn & Boredale 17.7kmCentral Fells14 The Langdale Pikes 11.6km15 Above Thirlmere 21.4km16 Grasmere Common 17.2km17 Stonethwaite Fells 17.9kmSouthern Fells18 The Coniston Fells 17.8km19 Langdale West 17.5km20 The Scafells 13.1km21 Langdale South 13.8km22 Borrowdale Fells 16.3km23 Hardknott Round 17.6km24 Encircling Elter Water 20.0km25 Tilberthwaite Round 13.6km26 Above & Below Wasdale Screes 17.1kmNorthern Fells27 Uldale Fells & Binsey 19.5km28 Blencathra Fells 17.2km29 Underskiddaw 18.0km30 Northern Skiddaw Horseshoe 13.3km31 Caldbeck Fells & Calva 20.9kmNorth-Western Fells32 Wythop Wanderings 19.9km33 Grasmoor & More 15.7km 34 Dale Head Horseshoe 15.4km 35 Coledale Horseshoe 14.5km 36 A Newlands Round 15.9kmWestern Fells37 Loweswater Loop 18.0km 38 North of Wast Water 14.6km 39 The Tops of Warnscale Bottom 11.1km 40 The Gables 11.8km 41 Kinniside Common 20.7km 42 West of Crummock Water 16.0km 43 Greendale Horseshoe 9.7km 44 The High Stile Ridge 14.1km 45 Kirk Fell & Pillar 12.7km The Wainwrights in OneAppendix

Book SynopsisNow in B-format paperback, this book describes ten women over the past three hundred years who have found walking essential to their sense of themselves, as people and as writers. Wanderers traces their footsteps, from eighteenth-century parson’s daughter Elizabeth Carter – who desired nothing more than to be taken for a vagabond in the wilds of southern England – to modern walker-writers such as Nan Shepherd and Cheryl Strayed. For each, walking was integral, whether it was rambling for miles across the Highlands, like Sarah Stoddart Hazlitt, or pacing novels into being, as Virginia Woolf did around Bloomsbury. Offering a beguiling view of the history of walking, Wanderers guides us through the different ways of seeing – of being – articulated by these ten pathfinding women.Trade Review‘Andrews features a wonderful cast of characters . . . It still feels somehow radical to talk about women ramblers and flâneuses; the sensitive, well-researched portraits in Wanderers rightly begin to redress the balance.’ — The Idler ‘The reader of Kerri Andrew's Wanderers: A History of Women Walking laces her boots and strikes out with ten women who walked, wrote and wrote about walking . . . there are some lovely vignettes . . . The book is at its best when imaginatively recreating the sole-tiring, soul-stirring, stomping simplicity of walking alone. Then the reader shares the rapture of Virginia Woolf's cry: "Oh the joy of walking!"’ — Laura Freeman, The Critic ‘Think of famous walkers and it's men like Wordsworth and Keats who likely spring to mind. But that's only half the story: here Andrews fills in the blanks with a history of women walkers of the last 300 years.’ — Country Walking Magazine ‘This book not only brings to light some women who walked and have been hidden in the shadows, but inspires us to consider our own reasons for walking and what we get from it. Kerri brings her own experiences and connections with the women she introduces in the book into each chapter, and her own love of walking shines through . . . If I hadn't read this book already, it would be on my wish list this Christmas!’ — Scottish Mountaineer ‘Historically, women were consigned to domestic tasks that hemmed them in. For a woman to walk as freely as a man was a radical act and fraught with potential danger. Here Andrews turns a scholarly eye on ten women throughout history, most of whom lived in Great Britain, who walked or, rather, hiked long distances. . . . Andrews interacts with each walker by either tracing similar paths herself or reflecting upon those paths' significance.’ — Booklist ‘In Wanderers, the reader finds him or herself in excellent company. We accompany literary legends such as Virginia Woolf and Dorothy Wordsworth as well as less well known, but equally exceptional, figures such as Ellen Weeton and Sarah Stoddard Hazlitt as they stride out through the landscapes that inspired and sustained them . . . Although Wanderers does show its readers that there have, historically, been barriers to women’s freedom to walk, its great achievement is to remind us of the prize worth challenging convention and facing those risks, that the freedom to walk is.’ — The Pilgrim ‘A wild portrayal of the passion and spirit of female walkers and the deep sense of "knowing" that they found along the path.’ — Raynor Winn, author of 'The Salt Path' ‘For centuries, women have walked for freedom, pleasure, identity and solace: they have walked-for-their-lives. Kerri Andrews’s remarkable history of these wanderers is timely and exciting. Enchanted by Andrews’s accessible, engaging, rigorous work, I opened this book and instantly found that I was part of a conversation I didn’t want to leave. A dazzling, inspirational history.’ — Helen Mort, author of 'No Map Could Show Them' ‘The remarkable women in Wanderers walk in the face of restrictive corsets and crinolines, the demands of motherhood, nay-saying medical advice, and an ever-present fear of male violence. When we picture a walker, it is usually a man, alone on a mountain summit. But Andrews opens up a very different and vastly more expansive vista, in which “the history of walking has always been women’s history”, and every present-day walker, male and female, should be grateful to her.’ — Rachel Hewitt, author of 'Map of a Nation'Table of ContentsSetting Off Chapter 1: Elizabeth Carter Chapter 2: Dorothy Wordsworth Chapter 3: Ellen Weeton Chapter 4: Sarah Stoddart Hazlitt Chapter 5: Harriet Martineau Chapter 6: Virginia Woolf Chapter 7: Nan Shepherd Chapter 8: Anaïs Nin Chapter 9: Cheryl Strayed Chapter 10: Linda Cracknell and a Female Tradition Coda Appendix References Further Reading Acknowledgements Index
