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

interesting and challenging, and invites the walker to visit both famous

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. |
