Are you interested in travelling the world and talking to people?
We are looking for three people to take off round the world on a free six-month trip in November ? and be Netjetters.
Just send us 500 words on where you want to go, and why we should pick you.

Sue Stubbings was living in the Fens dreaming of travel when she spotted the advert in the Guardian newspaper. On a whim she entered and much to her amazement found herself in the offices of the Guardian having been selected as one of those three ‘Netjetters’.

Two months later, this rather shy 51 year-old mum, who had never travelled outside of Europe, never travelled alone and never backpacked, set off on the greatest adventure of her life. It was to be a voyage of discovery – not only of the world – but of herself.

An Open Book – Heartfelt Words and Images Worn on the Sleeve – Jack of Hearts

Author: Jack of Hearts (Jackie Twigge)
Release Date: 14th December 2014

 ‘An Open Book is a photographic collection of heart shaped images taken by me over the past four years. I was initially inspired by a small body of water on Red Screes, featured in the book. That was the start of an exciting and somewhat addictive search for this popular and romantic shape. I have been amazed at how many natural objects take this form and I am now delighted to share my compilation in this way. Having written poetry for many years and being something of a romantic at ‘heart’, it seemed the obvious choice to combine the images with heartfelt words and sentiment. It has, quite literally, been a labour of love. I hope that those who choose to browse will enjoy my creative compilation as much as I have enjoyed producing it.’

British Tennis: Game, Set & … MESS! – Steve Kitcher

9781910077269_covAuthor: Steve Kitcher  (Co-Author Colin Thorne)
Release Date: 14th November 2014
Format: Paperback
ISBN: 978-1-910077-26-9

Buy from Amazon | About the author

It is an uncomfortable fact that Great Britain rarely produces top tennis players, despite all the millions from Wimbledon available to the Lawn Tennis Association and the countless schemes and programmes that have been rolled out over the decades.
In this book, Steve Kitcher, a grass-roots coach of more than twenty-five years’ standing, not only explains with admirable clarity the “mess” that has existed for far too long, but also (and more importantly) provides a solution to it all, again with admirable clarity. His unique route into full-time tennis has given him an unerring insight into a problem that has confounded so many The solution is surprisingly simple, straightforward and easy to implement.

In short, this book brings genuine hope for the future and most certainly deserves a read, as well as some serious attention. It will also change your perception of tennis in this country.

 

“This study, reinforced by Steve’s long experience as a player and coach, deserves to be dissected by all those who care about the game and might well become a classic reference in years to come.”
Stephen Debenham (Tennis Writer for the Lawn Tennis Writers’ Association and Tennis Today magazine)

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.
