Book Kinder Scout

Download or read book Kinder Scout written by Roland Smith and published by Derbyshire County. This book was released on 2002 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An anthology of new writing which gives an authoritive description of one of Britain's most popular mountains. Kinder Scout is probably the most popular and walked-on mountain in Britain; for many thousands of hillwalkers it provides their first real mountain experience. Surveys show that the Edale Valley at the foot of Kinder received over 250,000 visits a year. Taking in the figures from other surrounding approaches to the mountain (Hayfield in the west, from the Snake road to the north), perhaps a million people walk on Kinder, at 2,088ft (636m) the highest point of the Peak District, every year. This book is a visual and literary celebration of a famous yet under-represented mountain. In addition to modern writing by experts on particular aspects of Kinder Scout, ranging from its geology and natural and human history to the story of the famous Mass Trespass in 1932 and modern recreational use, not just hill walking, but rock/ice climbing, fell running, and the management of Kinder by The National Trust. The book will be illustrated completely by stunning images of the landscape taken throughout the year by some of Britain's best recreational and landscape photographers.

Book The Pennine Way   the Path  the People  the Journey

Download or read book The Pennine Way the Path the People the Journey written by Andrew McCloy and published by Cicerone Press Limited. This book was released on 2016-07-31 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a portrait of the Pennine Way, Britain's oldest and best known long-distance footpath, tracing its remarkable history through the experiences of walkers past and present. As Andrew McCloy walks the 268-mile route from the Derbyshire Peak District to the Scottish borders, he discovers how the Pennine Way set a benchmark for personal challenge and adventure and how reconnecting with wild places and the unhurried rhythm of the long walk continue to provide a much-needed antidote to our busy modern age. The resilience of the long distance walker is mirrored in the path's fascinating history: the initial struggle for access, battles to tame the bogs, later challenges of path erosion and the fluctuating circumstances of the rural hostel. Above all else however this is a book about Pennine Way people - from crusading ramblers to resourceful B&B landladies, hard working rangers to fanatical trail walkers. Their conversations and memories are woven into the narrative to give an account of the changing fortunes of the path and its special significance. Personal, thoughtful and often humorous, The Pennine Way - the Path, the People, the Journey is an exploration of our desire for challenge and adventure, the stimulation of wild places and how a long journey on foot through our own country still resonates today. It will appeal to people who have walked or are preparing to walk the Pennine Way, as well as to those with an interest in the history and legacy of this iconic path.

Book Bivouacs and Other Nocturnal Wanderings

Download or read book Bivouacs and Other Nocturnal Wanderings written by Pete Draper and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was my pal S J Axtell who introduced me to hill walking in the Peak District whilst we were yet to reach our teenage years. Then after a weeklong school trip Youth Hostelling in the Lake District, and a week camping in Aviemore, I was happy to continue playing football throughout my teens, up until reaching my late twenties. Returning to hill walking by the age of 28, I began rock climbing on Stanage Edge about three years later. Leaving out my 46 Expeds to the mountains of Scotland which are covered in another volume, the Peak District is where I have spent the greater part of my outdoor life. Wandering and climbing the Derbyshire hills, sometimes arriving home late at night, the idea eventually popped into my head of not only being prepared to spend a night out there in the open if I had to, but to make a night out on the hill a primary objective. And so began a series of "Bivouacs and Other Nocturnal Wanderings," some of those that I remember, I have recounted here.

This guide showcases some of the best routes in the Dark Peak, perfect for those looking for a change from the well-trodden paths that lead to the moorland tops.
