Book SynopsisBig Trails: Great Britain and Ireland Volume 2 is the second volume of this inspirational guide to the most iconic long-distance trails in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the Channel Islands.The twenty-five routes featured in this book comprise more of the best trails in Great Britain and Ireland. From some of Wales’s best views on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and the magnificent moorlands of the Two Moors Way (Devon Coast to Coast) in South-West England, the routes go to Scotland’s wild moors on the Southern Upland Way and over high cliffs on Ireland’s Burren Way. In the shadows of Lakeland peaks on the Cumbria Way and around five islands on the Channel Island Way, the book incorporates the highlights of Great Britain and Ireland, from its centre to its outermost edges.Big Trails books are designed to inspire big adventures. Rather than being carried along the route, this guide provides everything you need to plan and explore further, including a general overview of the trails, specific technical information, overview mapping, key information and stunning photography. As well as this, each route specifies approximate timings devised using the Jones–Ross formula, which allows for custom itineraries to be generated depending upon the speed of the user. Whether you’re walking, trekking, fastpacking or running, let Big Trails: Great Britain and Ireland Volume 2 be your guide.Table of ContentsIntroductionAcknowledgementsWhat is a Big Trail?About the routesHow to use this bookWalk, trek, fastpack, runPlanning for a Big TrailTHE TRAILS01 ....

Book SynopsisAn essential guidebook for walking the GR5, one of the world's most spectacular long-distance trails.

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.

Reardon Publishing War Walks: Stop Line Green
Book SynopsisStop Line Green (SLG) was a continuous linear defensive position some 100 mile long running in rough semi circle east of Bristol from Highbridge on the Bristol Channel in the south to Upper Framilode on the River Severn in the north. This book gives a guide to the walk of SLGTrade ReviewWAR WALKS Stop Line Green ISBN 1 873877 390 by Major Martin Green History, Photographs and Walks around the World War 11 defenses, Pill boxes and Anti Tank bollards from Gloucester to the South of Bristol. Stop Line Green was one of the major defenses against land invasion during the 1940's Miles Kington's article from The Independent Strange relics of Wiltshire's forgotten Maginot Line My father-in-law was in the Tank Regiment during the war - he was most distressed to hear of the death of his old commander, Michael Carver, the other day - and I suppose that it is because of his continuing interest in tank warfare that I, who have very little interest in war of any kind, keep my eyes open for scraps of tank information that might come my way. I have recently been working on a forthcoming Radio 4 series about General de Gaulle, and I had never realised just how convinced the old general was of the importance of tanks in the coming war. All through the 1930s he preached the gospel of tank superiority, and it was France's bad luck that nobody paid him any attention, except perhaps the Germans. It was thanks in large part to their tank strength that they were able to sweep across Belgium, Holland and France, encountering only the occasional setback (one of them because of opposition from de Gaulle's tanks). All this is a long way from where I live on the Wiltshire-Somerset border. There are signs of warfare round here, of course. There are Arthurian battle grounds (doubtful) and castles knocked down in Civil War sieges (nearby Farleigh Hungerford castle, never rebuilt) and even, on our local church door, damage which is said to have been done by Vikings trying to get at the terrified folk seeking sanctuary inside. But the only local legend about the Second World War concerns an underground motor bicycle factory at the village of Westwood - apparently a large part of the production of wartime Enfield motor bikes was housed beneath what is now a big green field, to avoid aerial observation. However, none of this explains the fact that up and down the river valleys near here, up the Frome and Avon and Wellow Brook, you can find old pillbox forts still standing. Big pillboxes, with gun slits. Somewhat sinister looking things, crouching like huge armed toads, in the brambles near rivers. Why on earth would anyone want to build pillboxes on the Wiltshire-Somerset border? To stop German tanks, I now learn from a fascinating booklet called Stop Line Green by Major Green (Reardon Publishing). In 1940, when the German tanks had swept across Europe, most people thought they would sweep across England next. Churchill thought this was a bad idea. So he ordered every possible obstacle to be put in the way of German tanks, and all through that summer a crash programme was put into operation to build anything that might slow down tanks beside natural obstacles such as the River Avon, or railway lines. These pillboxes were thrown up in savage haste, says Major Green, but they were well and solidly built. I can testify to that. All the pillboxes near me are now camouflaged by dense bramble and elder trees, and are pretty smelly inside where they have been used as emergency refuges, but they should stand for at least another hundred years. There is a wood called Hog Wood near Hinton Charterhouse where I sometimes take the dog for a walk, and alongside the footpath there is a meandering ditch which I have always taken to be an old sunken way or perhaps a drainage gulley. Not so, I now learn. It is a genuine tank trap, dug in 1940, never used, never filled in and never forgotten, at least not by Major Green. Strange, somehow, to wander among these relics of a campaign that never happened. The Major thinks that the line - built to safeguard Bristol - would probably have succumbed after the first breach, though the country would have been more favourable to defence against tanks in those days of many hedges and small fields. "It is now good tank country offering easy passage with wide and deep fields of view and fire." That is one thing I have never heard mentioned in debate about field usage - that the more hedges you grub out, the easier it is for tanks to come through. By the end of summer 1940 the ring of defence called Stop Line Green (which linked up with others called Stop Line Blue and Red) was nearly ready. But by October we had won the Battle of Britain and a German invasion had become impossible. Churchill sent out an order: Forget about the Stop Lines - There Won't be Any German Tanks Coming. From that moment, the tank traps, pillboxes and tank bollards lay silent and forgotten, waiting for blackberries to grow on them and for their historian to come along. That man is Major Green (no first name, apparently) and his Stop Line Green, though only 36 pages long, is my military history of the year. Book of the year, probably.

Historic England An Archaeological Map of Hadrian's Wall: 1:25000
Book SynopsisPlease note: This product is a map. It was more than just a wall: it was a whole military zone designed to control movement across the northern frontier of the Roman province of Britannia. Great earthwork barriers survive, along with the remains of forts and temporary camps; watch-towers and fortified gates; civilian settlements, temples, cemeteries, bath-houses, roads and bridges. Stretching across the spine of England from the North-East coast to the Irish Sea, the line of the frontier extends for over 100 miles through every type of landscape: from the streets of urban Tyneside, through arable fields; along the crags of the wild Whin Sill; to the sands of the Solway, and down the coast of Cumbria. Drawing upon the extensive expertise and unrivalled archives of English Heritage, and those of its partners, this map depicts the fruits of modern archaeological research: in field survey, geophysics, excavation, and the analysis of aerial photographs. Using Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 data - the ideal scale for walkers - this revised new map shows with great clarity all the elements of Hadrian’s Wall, and distinguishes between those features that are visible and those that have been levelled through time. A brief text explains the remains on the ground, and how to use the map to find them – including the museums and the best places to visit. This World Heritage Site is now more accessible than ever before, so see the landscape through new eyes.Trade Review'The most detailed guide published yet ...'The Daily Telegraph
