Mountain Biking Adventures: Multi-day routes in northern Britain – Hugh Stewart & Tony Wragg

Author: Hugh Stewart & Tony Wragg
Release Date: 12th December 2017
Format:
Paperback
ISBN:
9781-912014-87-3

 

Over the last two decades, mountain biking has developed enormously as a “sport”. We greatly admire the technical and athletic capabilities of modern day mountain bikers and recognise that many excellent mountain biking guides have been written and custom-built trails set up. However, in this guide we try to reopen a sense of adventure and wilderness to mountain biking, providing multi-day routes with a remoteness, continuity an d“arc” missing from many modern guides with their focus on day and half day outings. Sixteen are in Scotland, three in Northern England, and a bonus track is on southern chalk. The Scottish routes include well-known through routes and some passes previously restricted to those on foot. This is where the adventure and wilderness come in, and although some of the easier routes could be for any able bodied biker, the harder ones require mountain craft as well as cross country cycling skill and fitness.

Maritime Mail

Author: June Tower

Release Date: Originally 2009 / release through 2QT 30th May 2011

Format: Paperback

ISBN: 978-1-908098-25-2

When June Kellet was only 15 she fell in love with a young naval officer and over the next four years they were to live their lives through letters and brief stays, when John had leave ashore. The letters, now held in the archives of the Cairn Library of the National Maritime Museum are considered by the then Curator of Manuscripts as being, ‘… very important – to naval historians – they stand, still, as our most important collection from the mid-twentieth century.’

In this journal June Towers shares with us some of the letters which portray the lives of two young people – a junior naval officer and a schoolgirl of 16 years of age – their every day lives, family and friends, dreams, hope and above all love. The letters contained within the book start in October of 1946 and cover a period of four years  – the final entry being 29th November 1950. They married in April 1950 but married life was short lived as tragedy hit a year later, the day after their first wedding anniversary. June was 20 years old.

There has been much debate about the submarine the HMS Affray – still considered to be one of the Royal Navy’s worst peacetime disasters.
