Rucksack Readers Coast to Coast (2 ed): St Bees to Robin Hood's
Book SynopsisEngland's most popular walk runs for 184 miles (296 km) across the north of England from St Bees on the Irish Sea to Robin Hood's Bay on the North Sea. It passes through three National Parks - the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors - with fine scenery, welcoming pubs and plenty of accommodation. Devised by the legendary Wainwright, the Coast to Coast attracts walkers worldwide. The new edition is richly illustrated with 150 photographs, many by professional landscape photographer Karen Frenkel. There are 25 pages of colourful new mapping (scale 1:55,000) with cumulative distances, a 25-metre contour interval and points of interest marked. Each section has its own altitude profile, with details of where refreshments are available. Much detail has been added to route descriptions, in many places clarified by extra photographs with custom overlays to clarify route detail. Major route options have been added and mapped, and many updates made. The format is lightweight, robust and rainproof.Trade ReviewThe book is a visual treat, printed in full colour throughout with hundreds of wonderful photos. The spiral bound format makes it easy to use, folding back completely to the open pages. The paper stock is high quality with a shiny, rain resistant finish, so you don’t have to worry about the book falling to pieces when the weather turns bad. ... The route descriptions are much improved from the first edition and tricky sections like Greenup Edge now have special mentions and more detail. The addition of route alternatives in this edition is also a huge improvement. We now have notes and maps for Helm Crag and St. Sunday Crag. The omission of the Helvellyn/Striding Edge route is noted in the book and I agree with the sentiment – this is not a route for your typical C2C walker. The Keld to Reeth leg has high and low level options too, with the low level being treated as the ‘normal’ route – this seems to match the choice made by the majority of C2C walkers now, with only a small percentage of walkers using the high route. -- Stuart Greig * lonewalker.net *Sandra Bardwell's guide is the latest, and possibly best-presented of all. It is spiral-bound, waterproof and gloriously illustrated in colour. Mapping, provided by Footprint, ... is detailed and easy to read; the amount of information about planning and tackling the route is excellently judged, as is the background detail on history, wildlife and AW himself. -- John Manning * tgo magazine *This is one of the very best guidebooks I've ever encountered. It is a beautifullly crafted book which fits neatly into a rucksack. Sandra Bardwell ... is to be commended for producing this well-researched and lovely guide which follows the Wainwright route. ... The maps are excellent: they are very clear and easy to follow. I also like the Facilities along the Route section on page 7 ... -- Joyce Wilson * Keswick Reminder *If [this] book had been available at the time, I could have saved myself hours of retracing footsteps ... The book has comprehensive directions ... as well as very clear and detailed maps for each section. ... All in all, this is an excellent guide which should get the walker from the Irish Sea to the North Sea without putting a foot wrong. It is handsomely turned out and seems tough and durable. -- Brian Gilsenan * Irish Mountain Log *

It runs for 108 miles (174 km) around the North York Moors National Park, starting inland at Helmsley, offering panoramic views over the vales of York and Mowbray and from the Cleveland Hills.

The book is lavishly illustrated, with 95 colour photos and is printed on rain-resistant paper.Trade ReviewThe guide is a testament to excellent research, writing and photography. -- Malcolm Hodgson * Cleveland Way Trail Manager *This Rucksack Readers guidebook maintains their high standards. The pages on heritage are good with a fine section on the geology of the area and the iron and alum which were mined in the areas through which the path passes. The illustrations are superb and there are 90 colour photos which means that on completion you can refresh your memory of the walk. I particularly like the section on the History of the Cleveland Way which highlights the work of the pioneers as much of the walk has been used from the early days of leisure walking in England. In future l will be using this guide when on the Cleveland Way … because l like this book which has all the information that l need in a compact format which can be easily used on windy days. -- From an online blog * Bill's Walks. *I knew Alan Falconer and Bill Cowley, both authors of guides to the Cleveland Way. ... I’ve visited and written about virtually all the places mentioned in the new guidebook. I am greatly impressed by its facts, figures and presentation of the Cleveland Way. -- The late W R Mitchell * Editor of The Dalesman *

Pesda Press Nature of the Brecon Beacons: A Beginners Guide
Book SynopsisFor most people wandering through the beautiful landscape of the Brecon Beacons is pleasure enough, but sooner or later you may ask yourself, what is that little bird or flower that you see on most of your walks? The problem with most guides is that many of the animals, insects, rocks or plants in them are rarities, and therefore probably not the one you have just seen. This guide will help you to identify the ones that you are likely to see on your walks in the uplands of the Brecon Beacons. Don't throw your comprehensive guides away though! Once you can easily identify the things you are familiar with, the rarities will stand out and be much easier to pin down. Also in this series: Nature of Snowdonia by Mike Raine.
