Cicerone Press The GR5 Trail: Through the French Alps from Lake
Book SynopsisAn essential guidebook for walking the GR5, one of the world's most spectacular long-distance trails. The GR5 makes its way through the Alps from the shores of Lac Léman at Geneva to the Mediterranean at Nice. A route of 674km (420 miles), it can be trekked in a month, or split over a series of summer trips. The GR5 is well within the reach of fit and moderately experienced walkers and backpackers. There is good signposting and waymarking, and accommodation, food and drink are all available at regular intervals. The paths and tracks are generally well graded, while steep climbs are tackled on zigzag paths, so the overall gradient is not so severe. Every summer, thousands of walkers embark on this trek. This guidebook also describes some scenic variant routes, including the stunning GR55 through the Vanoise National Park and the delightful GR52 that crosses the Mercantour National Park. Full descriptions and maps are provided for these alternatives. The book includes daily stages, timings, ascents and descents, full-colour mapping and gradient profiles, alongside information about facilities and services along the route. The result is an ideal companion to planning and completing your trek. Two further Cicerone guidebooks cover the remaining sections of the GR5; 'The GR5 Trail - Vosges and Jura', and 'The GR5 Trail - Benelux and Lorraine' which together cover the route from Lac Léman to the Hoek Van Holland.Table of ContentsContents Map Key Overview Map Introduction Walking the GR5 Alpine Traverses Who Walks the GR5?

Book SynopsisThe go-to Lanzarote travel guide for discovering the best walks and car tours. Strap on your boots and discover Lanzarote on foot with the Sunflower Lanzarote travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours. The Sunflower Lanzarote guide is indispensable for hiking in Lanzarote or seeing Lanzarote by car. Fascinating Lanzarote is truly extraordinary. Its fate was decided some two and one-half centuries ago, when the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history took place, leaving a strange and alluring countryside in its wake — a landscape littered with volcanoes and dark streams of jagged lava. This is the backdrop to nearly every scene on the island, and intriguing sights abound – none more so than the ‘Fire Mountains’. As for hiking in Lanzarote, there is no better place in the Canaries for just strolling; trekkers will be in their element here. Each of the walks in this book takes you to a different corner of the island and shows you a scenically different outlook. But if walking is not your favourite pastime, then do explore Lanzarote by car. Whatever your age or ability we’ve got some glorious walks and car tours to ensure you have a memorable holiday in Lanzarote. Inside the Sunflower Lanzarote guide book you’ll find; 68 long and short walks for all ages and abilities – each walk is graded so you can easily match your ability to the level of walk; Topographical walking maps – give you a clear sense of the surrounding terrain with a scale of 1:68 000; Free downloadable gps tracks – for the techies; Satnav guidance to walk starts for motorists; 3 car tours and fold-out touring map – for easy reference on your tour; Strolls to idyllic picnic spots – enjoy our recommendations for where to picnic along the way; Timetables for public transport – ideal if you want to link two walks or avoid hiring a car on your holiday; Online update service for the latest information; Includes plans of Arrecife, Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca and Corralejo (Fuerteventura); Whether you tour the region by car or explore on foot, we look forward to showing you around.

Pesda Press Walking the Wainwrights: 64 Walks to Climb the
Book SynopsisIn this book you'll find 64 routes that, if you complete them all, by default you will also have completed the Wainwrights. A few of the summits are featured in more than one walk. That's ok. You can do them more than once! Why do we need a guide book on the fells of the Lake District if Wainwright wrote seven of them? Well, I should say right here that this book is not intended to replace Wainwright's Pictorial Guides. They are superb books. But, they were written in the 1950s and 60s, and yes, some things in the hills have changed in the intervening years. Another reason is that many walkers struggle to devise full-day walks using the Wainwright guide books. Yes, he has detailed pretty much every conceivable way of getting to each individual summit, but this leaves the reader having to then come up with their own plan to make a longer day of it by continuing over one or more other fells. Wainwright didn't describe day walks in these seven guidebooks. He described individual ways up and down each one. So, please buy the Wainwright guidebooks if you haven't got them on your bookshelves already. Just use them alongside this book.
