Kilimanjaro - A Complete Trekker's Guide
Nothing in Africa is as majestic or fabled as Mount Kilimanjaro. Though one of the highest volcanoes in the world and the single highest freestanding mountain in the world, it is nonetheless possible to reach the summit without any technical climbing ability. Over 20,000 people a year tackle the ascent to the Roof of Africa, yet only a fraction of this number succeed in reaching the 5895m Uhuru Peak.

Tour of Mont Blanc
Tour of Mont Blanc is one of the best of the world's
classic walks, which circumnavigates the Mont Blanc massif in about eleven
days. The walk has all the excitement of the high mountains yet none of the
worry of altitude sickness.
It crosses numerous cols with stunning views of spectacular snow and rock
peaks and accommodation along the route is plentiful. The 'official' Tour du
Mont Blanc follows an established route around the main block of mountains
containing not only Mont Blanc but its principal allied summits such as
Verte, Chardonnet, Gouter, Geant, Jorasses, d'Argentiere, Dolent and
numerous others. The author describes the tour both in the traditional
'anti-clockwise' direction and the 'clockwise' direction.
There are several alternative routes that subsequently link, and these are
also described. The routes have been created to give the very best
perspective and appreciation of the whole region. At every opportunity
recommendations are made that will bring the walker into closer contact with
the area.
This guide is in full colour, with points of interest, accommodation details
and natural history of the region covered. This edition includes new routes
around Courmayeur and Arnuva and to Lac Blanc.

National Trails of England, Scotland and Wales
By Paddy Dillon
National Trails were established as part of the post-war programme to keep areas of Britain "special" and to protect them from development. The first such route, the Pennine Way, opened in 1965, and since then another 14 have been designated in England and Wales, with a further 4 in Scotland. Together, the National Trails cover well over 5000 kilometres (3100 miles), each one with unique qualities which explore the rich, scenic and historic countryside of Britain. Even the most dedicated long- distance walker would take over 200 days to walk them all, but most are happy to explore them one after another over several annual holidays. With its route descriptions, photographs and profiles, this book is not only an invaluable reference for anyone researching our National Trails, but is in itself a celebration of these wonderful routes across Britain's landscape. Paddy Dillon has walked all the National Trails twice, and keeps abreast of all the latest developments.
