| Christopher's latest is a beautiful book to paw over and dip in and out of. The pictures are evocative and inspiring, and the text just takes you there.
Great to keep in your car so that you always have something interesting to deviate off to when your on a journey. The format reminds me of a more lavish version of the old AA or RAC map/guide books that your Dad used to keep in the glove box and I loved to read as a boy. |

| This is just the book to have if you are into hillwalking in the UK hills. The good old Langmuir book was just a little too long winded and complex and never managed to get anything out of.
However the Mountain Leader book or the green book has been my bible when preparing for my Mountain Leader. Whenever I forgot something from my training I just pulled this book out from my shelf and looked it up. I advise anyone interested in hillwalking to consider buying the Mountain Leader ...

List Price: £4.99 Healthy Living Books Price: £4.74 You Save: £0.25 ( 5%)Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.35 |
| This is a good, useful map. Two sided, each 55cm x 65cm, scale 1:40,000, 2.5cm =1km, which is about 1.5inches = 1 mile. Not quite as good as a British Ordnance Survey map, but better and cheaper (from Amazon) than any maps I saw in Madeira. All the main roads, tourist info, contours, (with good background colouring to indicate height,essential in such a mountainous region), footpath details, with references to walk numbers in guide-books, levadas, a place-name index... There is also a small street-map of ... Read More: |

| Look it's very simple. He overcomplicates everything to make it dramatic and "extreme". The book has some good bits in it but you are much much better off with a ray mears, mors kochanski or lofty wiseman book. Plus buying this allows the fool to continue making tv programs that put people in danger and give them an unrealistic impression of outdoor living and survival skills. |

| I had the choice between this book and the readers digest equivalent. The Book People were at work so all I got was a quick look through and decided on this one pretty much just down to the fact this book had little maps which provided an overveiw of each walk - I have to have maps wherever I go because I will get lost otherwise.
I got back to my desk, had a look at reviews on Amazon for both books and was pleased when the Readers Digest one didnt seem to do too great but this was then blown away because ... Read More: |

List Price: £10.99 Healthy Living Books Price: £7.69 You Save: £3.30 (30%)Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.07 |
| This is a reasonably up to date guide to the fast moving world of GPS that reveals what you can and can't do with your gps. For the UK user this will help you make some sense of settings, grid systems and the differences between waypoints, trackpoints and routes. It shows how much is available on the internet to enable you to use your gps to its maximum. The book is a very easy, non-technical read that you can dip into or read thoroughly. I bought a very good gps but, to be honest, had no idea what to do with it yet, ... Read More: |

| We have done several walks in the book and have enjoyed them all. The instructions are clear (and updates are posted on the website), and all the information you need is in there. There are great tips on where to have lunch and this often turns into the real highlight of any walk (that long awaited glass of cider on a hot summer's day in the garden of a country pub) ...
If you like walking and exploring the glorious English countryside, this is the book you need to inspire you and take you away from the ... Read More: |

| I can't help but agree with the other 2 star review for this book. I'm only in the planning stages of my LEJOG trip at the moment, but find it difficult to gain a great deal of direction from this book. As already stated, its small (which is fine) and has some truly awful photos that do more to detriment the book than enhance it.
The advice at the start of the book is aimed towards the complete novice, and seems to be an too little detail to really be helpful. For example, there's a section on publicity ... Read More: |
