Blood, Sweat and Smears – Gary Gibson

Author: Gary Gibson
Release Date:  May 2019
Format:
Hardback 
ISBN:
978-1-913071-09-7
RRP:
£25.00 

Over the last forty years, Gary Gibson has made the first ascents of more than 4,750 climbing routes. These routes have given enjoyment and exhilaration to untold thousands of climbers.
Bedevilled by controversy, mostly of his own making, Gary has gone his own way and clashed with the climbing establishment of the day. Over time, British climbing has changed immeasurably – and so has Gary.
Gary has more than just climbing in his life: his love for his favourite ‘punk’ band, his inherited love for his football club, his long and continuous commitment to his profession and more than anything his love for his family and friends.
Love him or loathe him, in this book Gary shares his thoughts and memories giving the reader a personal insight into this ‘controversial’ man.
Blood, Sweat and Smears is a truly remarkable story.

Hillwalks from the Settle to Carlisle Stations – Hugh Stewart

9781908098894COVERAuthor: Hugh Stewart
Release Date: 31st August 2013 (IN STOCK NOW)
Format: Paperback
ISBN: 978-1-908098-89-4

Buy from Amazon | About the author

This book details 24 walks into the hills surrounding the historic and
iconic Settle to Carlisle railway, based on the stations between Settle and
Appleby. The area has some of the finest walking of the north Pennines:
the Craven district around Settle; the Three Peaks area; Dentdale, and
Mallerstang and the upper Eden valley.
The walks, which vary from 4.7 to 17.4 miles with suggestions for
variations, are graded, and the descriptions come with OS map extracts
and points of interest.
Guided walks take place most weekends of the year from these stations,
as charter rail services for ramblers popularised the activity from the mid
1970’s, but this book allows confident walkers to go it alone if they so
wish, not necessarily along the same routes.

Up The Country – Peter Jackson

Author: Peter Jackson
Release Date: 14th December 2012
Format: 216 x 140mm Paperback
ISBN: 978-1-908098- 83-2

Buy from Amazon | About the author

Facing redundancy and an uncertain future, Peter Jackson did what many other people have done in similar situations – he ran away.

Well, nearly. He walked from Land’s End to John o’Groats and decided to take in the three summits of Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis while he was at it. This book is a personal account of his 1300-mile journey up the country from the tip of Cornwall to the far north of Scotland. Follow his progress along cliff top and riverside, over moor and mountain and through forest and town as he moves from one surprise to the next. The main lesson Peter learned from his walk is that if you have your heart set on something, you should go for it!
