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.

Format: 216 x 140mm Paperback
ISBN: 978-1-908098- 83-2

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!

A Canvas Of Rock by Mark Radtke

Author: Mark Radtke
Availability:  In stock
Format: Hardback  (Colour photographs – plates)
ISBN: 978-1-908098-00-9

Buy from Amazon | About the author

A Canvas of Rock transports the reader through two of the most influential periods in modern British rock-climbing as seen through the eyes one of the UK’s well-respected rock climbers – Mark Radtke.

This collection of personal experiences and friendships with some of the influential climbers from the 1970s to the present day, provides a rare insight and first-hand account on some of the crucial and at times contentious episodes that paved the way to today’s rock-climbing scene. We are also treated to insights of the man himself – his passion and his drive that have allowed him to challenge his limits and to pioneer many new Extreme routes.

Excerpt: ‘The sheer amount of time spent living outdoors, touching rock and getting dirty with the elements has undoubtedly brought me closer to nature. I know that I am a part of nature and not above it. Climbing has allowed me to explore my own fallibilities and shortcomings. Failure has occasionally resulted in one or two broken bones, but more often a bruised ego has been the more painful.

It has provided the opportunity to satisfy creative urges as in my own minds eye I have painted new routes on canvases of rock.’

 

With Foreword from Andy Cave, Andy Cave Author of  Multi Award Winning Learning to Breathe (2006) and Thin White Line (2008)
