Download or read book The Comedy Way a semi circular walk around Morecambe Bay via Silverdale written by John Coppack and published by Follifoot Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2021-06-28 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Comedy Way is a 30.5 mile (49 km) semi-circular walk around Morecambe Bay starting from the market town of Ulverston in Cumbria and ending in the Lancashire sea-side town of Morecambe. The area covered by the walk has the finest coastal scenery in north-west England and is exceptionally rich in plant, bird and animal life. Several nature reserves including the internationally famous RSPB Leighton Moss fall within the ambit of the walk. The Comedy Way celebrates two of the greatest comic duos of the 20th-century, Laurel and Hardy and Morecambe and Wise. Stan Laurel was born in Ulverston and in the central square of the town stands a statue immortalising the comic genius of the actor and his slapstick partner. The much loved comedian, Eric Morecambe, was born in the town that provided his stage name. Located on the central promenade in Morecambe with its bay and the Lakeland hills forming a stunning backdrop stands a larger-than-life statue depicting the comedian in one of his characteristic poses. The Comedy Way is book-ended by these two evocative memorials to the world of comedy. The guidebook provides clear easy to follow route directions supported by 14 maps dedicated to route navigation as well as a wealth of practical information and safety advice. Features of historical and archaeological interest along the route are highlighted and captured by 54 colour photographs. Accommodation is plentiful along the route thus making this an ideal walk for those new to medium to long distance walking. Even experienced walkers looking for a new trail, one that can be completed in two or three days, will find The Comedy Way an interesting and altogether delightful walk.
Download or read book Woodrow Wilson written by John Coppack and published by Follifoot Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2023-04-20 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Woodrow Wilson's presidency coincided with the Great War (the greatest catastrophic event to descend on Europe since the Black Death) and the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. Both these seminal events had far reaching consequences that still haunt our world today. The First World War elevated Wilson to a world statesman who reshaped the world map following the defeat of the Central Powers in 1918. Wilson's call to Congress in the Spring of 1917 to declare war against Germany ultimately changed the course of the war - a war which Great Britain and France and their allies could well have lost. By inheritance Wilson was from Scottish and Irish stock. His mother was born in Carlisle in north-west England. Before he became the 28th president of the United States, Wilson spent five summers in Britain, mainly the Lake District which he regarded as his second home. Wilson was a profoundly emotional man, an incurable romantic, an idealist. Reading William Wordsworth's The Farewell would bring tears to his eyes. Wilson was married twice and had three daughters by his first wife. He also had a long-standing extramarital infatuation with a married woman which brought him close to political disaster. The book places a spotlight on the above aspects of Woodrow Wilson's life.

Download or read book We re Everywhere Us written by Sachin Nakrani and published by Pitch Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A diary of Liverpool Football Club's 2014/15 season, with a difference. The book may kick off with a chapter on the season opener and end with the last game; but this diary isn't written by a single author. Nor does it focus heavily on the actual soccer. Instead, We're Everywhere, Us is a collaboration--a compilation of pieces offering a different personal take on what it means to support Liverpool. Friendship. Family. Travel. Tragedy. Work. Each piece is a long, rich read, completely unique and distinct from those that precede and follow it. Some of the finest writers on Liverpool FC are involved, including Simon Hughes, Kevin Sampson, Melissa Reddy, Paul Tomkins, Mike Nevin, and Steve Kelly. There are also contributions from Liverpool supporters living abroad, which gives We're Everywhere, Us a truly international feel--while opposition fans add yet another perspective on Liverpool FC's season, our captivating city and proud history.
Download or read book The Eastern Fells written by Alfred Wainwright and published by Frances Lincoln. This book was released on 2018-01-04 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eastern Fells include the greatest single concentrated mass of high ground in Lakeland: a tremendous barrier running north and south, high and steep all along its length, rising to above 3000 feet on Helvellyn – the most-often climbed mountain in the Lake District. Popular resorts such as Ambleside and Grasmere lie in this sector of the fells, as does the beautiful Patterdale valley (the best base, in Wainwright's view, for exploring the area). The Pictorial Guides by A. Wainwright, written half a century ago, have been treasured by generations of walkers. This edition of The Eastern Fells is freshly reproduced from Wainwright's original hand-drawn pages.
