Notting Hill Editions Sauntering: Writers Walk Europe
Book SynopsisOn foot the world comes our way. We get close to the Continent’s alpine ranges, arterial rivers, expansive coastlines. Close to its ancient cities and mysterious thoroughfares; and close to the walkers themselves—the Grand Tourers and explorers, strollers and saunterers, on their hikes and quests, parades and urban drifts. Sauntering features sixty walker-writers—classic and current—who roam Europe by foot. Twenty-two countries are traversed. We join Henriette d’Angeville, the second woman to climb Mont Blanc; Nellie Bly roaming the trenches of the First World War; Werner Herzog on a personal pilgrimage through Germany; Hans Christian Andersen in quarantine; Joseph Conrad in Cracow; Rebecca Solnit reimagining change on the streets of Prague; and Robert Macfarlane dropping deep into underground Paris. Contributors include: Patrick Leigh Fermor; John Hillaby; Robert Walser; Henriette d’Angeville; Joseph Roth; Joanna Kavenna; Richard Wright; Werner Herzog; Robert Antelme; George Sand; Rainer Maria Rilke; Robert Macfarlane; Rebecca Solnit; Kate Humble; Nicholas Luard; Edith Wharton; Elizabeth von Armin; Joseph Conrad; D. H. Lawrence; Vernon Lee; Guy Debord, Mark Twain, Thomas Coryat, and more.Trade Review“Sauntering is a superior feast, a high-class tasting menu, sometimes deliciously incongruous but always organised with intelligent care…It is hard to think that it could be better done." - Times Literary Supplement "Here is an odd development: I have decided to carry a book. For at least the coming season, when, with hope, we head out once again for afternoon or evening walks, I want this book with me. I plan to open it, often, every day. Read one selection and you will smile. Read three and you’ll be lacing your boots… The genius of Sauntering is that it celebrates the act itself, the joy as well as pain of walking. There are narratives of sunny valleys as well as of frightening wartime trenches. The book has nothing to do with exercise and everything to do with a way of seeing.’ —Scott Olsen, Minneapolis Star Tribune “Sauntering is full of those free associations in place and space that are the very essence of walking pursued as a writerly act, and writing undertaken as an ambulatory art. The perfect companion for a summer ramble, or a winter fireside.” —Will Self “A beguiling panorama of wanderers from different eras and geographies. . . Like his subjects, Minshull wanders, lifting contributions from people all over the literary map: philosophers, novelists, essayists, critics, children’s authors. . . . [His] goal, one gathers, is less to trace a historiography of the rambler than to expand the genre of flânerie, with an open-endedness true to its spirit.” —Alejandro Chacoff, The New Yorker

Vertebrate Publishing Ltd Scottish Island Bagging: The Walkhighlands guide
Book SynopsisScottish Island Bagging by Helen and Paul Webster, founders of Walkhighlands, is a guide to the magical islands of Scotland.Focusing on the ninety-nine islands that have regular trips or means of access for visitors, plus fifty-five other islands which have no regular transport but are still of significant size or interest, the authors have described the best ways to experience each one. Of the islands featured, many are household names – Skye, Lewis, Bute – while some, such as the isolated St Kilda archipelago and the remote Sula Sgeir, will be unknown to all but a hardcore few.When it comes to things to see and do, the islands of Scotland have it all. Wildlife enthusiasts can watch out for otters, orcas and basking sharks, while birdwatchers in particular are spoilt: look out for the rare corncrake on Islay, sea eagles on Mull, or sight puffins, gannets, storm petrels and many other seabirds on any number of islands – although beware the divebombing bonxies.Foodies can sample Arran or Westray cheese, the many islands’ world-renowned seafood or learn about the whisky making process and sample a wee dram on a distillery tour.While the human history may not stretch back in time as far as the geology of these ancient lands, it is rich and varied: visit the 5,000-year-old Neolithic village of Skara Brae on Orkney, or Mackinnon’s Cave on Mull, following in the footsteps of Samuel Johnson and James Boswell. You can even stay in the house on Jura where George Orwell wrote Nineteen Eighty-Four.Hillwalkers can bag a Munro, walk the wild clifftops or take in the sights, or you could just escape from it all on one of the dozens of beautiful and deserted beaches – before joining the locals for a ceilidh into the wee hours.Well served by ferries and other transport links, getting around is easy. You could even take the world’s shortest scheduled flight. In Scottish Island Bagging, let Helen and Paul Webster be your guides to these enchanting isles.Trade Review'The Webster's book is an ideal jumping point for anyone planning a trip to Scotland's islands and looking for a little inspiration.' – Roger Cox, The ScotsmanTable of ContentsIntroduction1 The Firth of ForthIsle of MayBass RockCraigleithFidraInchkeithInchcolmCramond Island2 The Firth of ClydeArranPladdaHoly IsleBute InchmarnockGreat CumbraeLittle CumbraeAilsa CraigDavaar IslandSanda3 Islay, Jura and Colonsay IslayJuraColonsayOronsay Gigha Cara4 Firth of Lorn and Loch LinnheSeilEasdaleLuingShunaLungaScarbaThe GarvellachsKerreraLismoreEriskaIsland of Shuna5 Isle of Mull group MullIonaErraidUlvaGometraInch KennethLittle ColonsayStaffaLunga and the Treshnish IslandsEorsaCarna and Oronsay6 Coll, Tiree and the Small IslesTireeCollEiggRumCannaSandayMuckEilean Shona7 Skye and the North-westSkyeLoch Bracadale islandsSoayEilean BanPabayScalpayRaasayEilean FladdayRonaIsle of EweGruinard IslandSummer IslesIsle MartinHandaRabbit Islands and Eilean nan Ròn8 Outer HebridesLewisEilean Chaluim CilleGreat Bernera Pabbay (Loch Roag)HarrisScalpayTaransayScarpPabbayFlannan IslesSt Kilda archipelagoRockallNorth RonaSula SgeirShiantsBernerayNorth UistVallay (Bhàlaigh)Baleshare (Baile Sear) Monach IslesGrimsay Ronay (Rònaigh) Benbecula (Beinn na Faoghla) Flodaigh (Fladda)South Uist Eriskay Barra Vatersay FudayBishop’s Isles (Barra)9 OrkneyMainlandBrough of Birsay Lamb HolmBurrayHundaSouth Ronaldsay Hoy South WallsGraemsay Flotta RousayEgilsayWyreWestrayPapa WestrayHolm of Papa Eday StronsayPapa StronsaySandayNorth Ronaldsay CopinsayStromaSwona10 ShetlandMainlandBressayNossMousaTrondraWest BurraEast BurraPapa StourMuckle RoeUyeaYellUnstFetlarWhalsayOut SkerriesFair IsleFoulaAcknowledgements

Bergverlag Rudolf Rother La Palma walking guide 71 walks: 2020
Book SynopsisThe greenest of the Canary Islands awaits the walker with more variety of landscapes than can be found in any other similarly small region in the world. Wide valleys, wild gorges and crater landscapes, pine- and laurel forests, banana plantations, cascades and waterfalls form a rich contrast with one another. The walking here is superb and the dark-black beaches, beautiful as they are, pale into insignificance in comparison to the offerings of nature which in all corners of the island surprise you with ever-changing scenery. The island offers incomparably pleasant strolls between gleaming lava beaches, lush laurel woods and cloud-ringed ridges. And ever-present is the deep blue Atlantic. La Palma is made for the walker who loves nature and seeks adventures away from the noisy beach resorts and cheap tourist attractions. This guide presents the walker with a wide range of enjoyable walks incorporating every region on the island: from physically demanding excursions into the rugged barrancos in the north to the romantic scenery of the setting sun on the 2000 metre peaks, not to mention the truly phenomenal volcano route; from gentle walks through bright green pine forests and across dark lava streams to the most spectacular destination on the island: the giant unspoilt landscape of the Caldera de Taburiente, surrounded by thousand metre high precipices, one of the greatest erosion craters in the world. This Rother guide is the most comprehensive and popular walking guide to La Palma and has been the definitive guide for many years. The present edition has been totally revised and now extended to include 69 walks an all-round successful guide, excellently illustrated with maps (scale 1:50,000), which will arouse your curiosity and can be highly recommended to all mountain lovers on La Palma.

Popular resorts such as Ambleside and Grasmere lie in this sector of the fells, as does the beautiful Patterdale valley (the best base, in Wainwright's view, for exploring the area). This is the original Pictorial Guide to the Eastern Fells of Lakeland, freshly reproduced from Wainwright's original pages. These popular Pictorial Guides have been treasured by generations of walkers and are as enchanting and inspiring now as when they were written, half a century ago.

Gill Pilgrim Paths in Ireland
Book SynopsisIn recent times the popularity of the Camino de Santiago has prompted renewed interest in pilgrim walks in Ireland. Increasing numbers now follow ancient Irish pilgrim paths to such holy places as Glencolumbkille, Croagh Patrick, Lough Derg and Glendalough. John G. O'Dwyer has walked - or, in the case of Clonmacnoise, cycled - the pilgrim trails of Ireland, from Slieve Mish in the northeast, where Christianity may have had its first dawning in Ireland, to Skellig Michael in the southwest, where the known world once ended. Each walk description has directions, the degree of difficulty, estimated time and a map. The paths are varied and suited to a range of abilities, from casual ramblers to committed walkers. In each route the author recounts his feelings and experiences, and describes the entertaining and insightful characters he meets along the way.Trade Review"The author recounts his feelings and experiences, and describes the entertaining and insightful characters he meets along the way.""This one has earned its place in the rucksack.""A great addition to the seasoned hillwalker's library." "Beautifully produced with fine photographs and clear, if rather basic, maps.""Even in familiar surroundings O'Dwyer's prose seems fresh ... for those who are prepared to acknowledge a rationale beyond just visiting summits, this may well end up being considered to be a bit of a minor classic.""Excellent." "Attractive little guide." "This book acts as the perfect satnav. It leads you along your chosen path."
