The Ridges of England, Wales and Ireland: Scrambles, Rock Climbs and Winter Routes, Dan Bailey - Who could resist a good ridge? Stony tightropes stringing the peaks, gap-toothed like jawbones; chiselled crests spearing out of sea surge or corrie shadow - such things are the stuff of climbing dreams. This book complements the Cicerone guide "Scotland's Mountain Ridges", describing and celebrating the best routes of their type across the rest of Britain and Ireland, and bringing them all together in one place for the first time. From balmy (and occasionally barmy) seaside trips and roadside quick fixes to strenuous snowy days in the high hills, the selection described here reflects the diversity of mountaineering and traditional climbing in our islands, and the dazzling patchwork quilt of contrasting landscapes in which these adventures can be enjoyed. Within the broad scope of the ridges theme there's something special for everyone, scrambling beginners and hardened climbers alike. Published June 09

Undiscovered Wales: 15 Circular Walks, Kevin Walker - Even while rambling in the most rugged and remote parts of Wales, one is liable to stumble upon some mysterious link with the past - a ruined building, a track that leads nowhere, an obviously man-made hole in the ground. All these pose questions that insist on an answer. Mountain expert Kevin Walker has spent hundreds of days tramping the Welsh mountains and moorlands and has uncovered the stories behind some of these special places, which are rich not only in landscape and scenery, but also in heritage and people, myth and legend, past lives and long-forgotten tales. In Undiscovered Wales he presents fifteen one-day circular walks, of varying degrees of difficulty, that pass through locations rich in history. Some walks pass through areas connected with legend, such as the cave where Merlin overdid his spell and unfortunately killed the person he was trying to save. Others captivate with more modern tales, such as the origins of Macnamara's road, or the desperately sade story of little Tommy Jones, aged five. In addition to be background information, each of the walks is described in full with photographs, details of the terrain and sketch maps. Published March 10.

The guide also includes the superb ridges of the Arans, Arenigs, Berwyns and Cadair Idris and the bleak moorland vastness of the Cwmdeuddwr hills and Plynlimon. Details of equipment, mountain safety and navigation as well as a bibliography make this a complete guide to backpacking in Wales.  Published June 04
