GR221 Mallorca's Long Distance Walking Route (Paperback)

WALK! GR221 MALLORCA S LONG DISTANCE TRAIL - THE DRY STONE WAY If you want to get away from it all , there is no surer way than strapping on your boots, shouldering your backpack, and embarking on a long distance path; and there are few long distance paths more beguiling and more crammed with adventure than Mallorca s GR221, La Ruta de Pedra en Sec or The Dry Stone Way. Anybody who has visited Mallorca will appreciate the justice of the GR221 s title. Following ancient bridleways along the length of the Tramuntana range, from Port d Andratx in the southwest to Pollença in the northeast, the GR221 touches on dry stone in its every manifestation, from the raw rock of the peaks and sweeping fields of karst to the tailored stones that have always been the island's building material of choice. In some cases, we use immaculately paved trails, at other times we walk on bare rock below looming cliffs, and everywhere we cross the rocky passes that have always been the portals between the Mallorca's otherwise isolated communities. En route, we see dry-stone huts, dry-stone springs, dry-stone threshing circles, dry-stone snowpits, dry-stone walls, dry-stone limekilns, dry-stone byres, dry-stone stiles, dry-stone bread ovens, dry-stone wells . . . basically, anything you can prefix with 'dry-stone', we get it. Moreover, there is enough variety packed into this trail to fill an itinerary twice as long, the dry stone being broken up by plains of citrus groves, terraces of olive trees, forests of Holm Oak, exquisite pastoral enclaves, and spectacular valleys laced with glittering threads of mountain torrents, all of it backed by the broad blue palette of the Mediterranean. In the course of its 115 kilometres, the Ruta de Pedra en Sec takes walkers into places most tourists never see and offers us a bird's eye view of this magnificent landscape, giving visitors a complete picture of the Tramuntana range in a single holiday, freeing one from constraints of time and transport, and lending a coherence to the experience that day walks can only achieve over the course of a far longer and more costly trip. Features of Walk! GR221 Full details concerning the state of the route and accommodation options Specific advice and comprehensive practical information to help you plan your trip Detailed walking descriptions for each stage of the itinerary, including frequent timings to aid navigation and check your progress GPS waypoints for every key point on the route Full colour 1:40,000 scale maps drawn from our own surveys Coloured photos illustrating each stage and dedicated photo pages so you can see at a glance what to look forward to each day Walking route summaries including ratings for Effort, Time, Distance, Ascents/Descents, Refreshments and Vertigo risk Altitude profiles drawn from our own GPS records Alternative itineraries Links to other walks Town sketches describing the settlements en route Gobbets giving background information about the island's history and culture.

The Coast to Coast Walk (Recreational Path Guides) (Paperback)
ISBN-13: 978-1845134679 |
Check out the low price and order here
The Coast to Coast Walk is unique among Britain's long-distance footpaths in that it was the invention of one man, the legendary Alfred Wainwright, and enjoys no official status like, for example, the National trails in England and Wales. Nevertheless, it has become one of Britain's most popular long-distance walks, which is hardly surprising as it traverses some of the finest walking territory in the country.Starting at St Bees on the Cumbrian coast, the route runs for 192 miles (307 km) to Robin Hood's Bay on the North Sea and lies, for the most part, within the boundaries of three of Britain's loveliest National Parks - the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors. As well as the main route there are also alternatives available at several points. Martin Wainwright's description of the route is divided into fifteen chapters, each covering one day's walk (though alternative stopping places are identified for those who wish to spread their journey over a longer period) and each section of the route is described in detail with accompanying Ordnance Survey 1:25 000 mapping and colour photographs. There are also brief feature essays on features or places of particular historical or landscape interest and a Useful Information section at the end which gives details of organisations which provide advice or information on matters such as travel and accommodation.Covering one day's walk, this title features 1:25 000 Ordnance Survey mapping marked with points of interest along the route. It has full colour photographs throughout. It includes background information on local history, wildlife, archaeology and landscape. It also includes comprehensive 'Useful Information' section.

Offa's Dyke Path (Paperback)
ISBN-13: 978-1852845490 |
Check out the low price and order here
Offa's Dyke was constructed by the powerful King of Mercia in the late eighth century to mark out the western boundary of his kingdom. Hundreds of years later this is the inspiration for a 170-mile National Trail traversing the border country of England and Wales. The whole route is described, with suggestions for circular walks covering sections of it. Undertaken in its entirety the route offers an attractive and at times demanding two-week trek for the long-distance walker. The Offa's Dyke Path makes its way through varied, sometimes wild, often remote, and frequently superb scenery, linked by a succession of historic towns and attractive villages. The guide combines practical information and advice with a generous helping of historical and scenic detail of this highly attractive border region. Written with enthusiasm, this is an ideal guidebook for both the long-distance walkers and those making shorter excursions along Offa's Dyke Path.
