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.

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!
