Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide describes ascents of 25 Lake District fells that can be climbed from the valleys of Wasdale, Eskdale and Ennerdale. Quieter and wilder than the eastern side of the national park - though every bit as beautiful - this area is home to many of the region's most celebrated peaks, with highlights including iconic Great Gable, Pillar and Yewbarrow, as well as England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike. Unlike other guidebooks which describe a single or limited number of routes to a particular destination, the aim of the Walking the Lake District Fells series is to offer all the options. These are presented as numbered sections which can be combined to create infinite possibilities - from simple ascents to longer ridge routes. You'll find the classics and popular routes alongside less traditional alternatives perfect for the wandering spirit. The series gives you both the freedom to devise your own routes and the information to make informed decisions, thanks to the clear descriptions of the routes, terrain, hazards, interesting features and safe descent paths should the weather close in. Also included are a handful of classic ridge routes for longer fell days. Mark Richards' inimitable text is complemented by HARVEY mapping and the author's own beautiful sketch topos and panoramas. Perfect for keen hillwalkers and peak-baggers alike and ideal both for pre-planning and use on the hill, Walking the Lake District Fells is the new incarnation of the Fellranger series, which sees the volumes updated and trimmed to a more practical size. These true connoisseurs' guides are sure to inspire you to get out and explore the beautiful fells of Lakeland.

Download or read book Where Bigfoot Walks written by Robert Michael Pyle and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of America’s most esteemed natural history writers takes to the hills of the Pacific Northwest in search of Bigfoot—and finds the wildness within ourselves. “A unique book in the bigfoot literature . . . that understands what most lifetime bigfooters eventually come to know: that bigfooting is about the journey more than the destination.” —Cliff Barackman, field researcher and star of Animal Planet’s Finding Bigfoot Awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to investigate the legends of Sasquatch, Yale–trained ecologist Dr. Robert Pyle treks into the unprotected wilderness of the Dark Divide near Mount St. Helens, where he discovers both a giant fossil footprint and recent tracks. On the trail of what he thought was legend, he searches out Indians who tell him of an outcast tribe, the Seeahtiks, who had not fully evolved into humans. A handful of open–minded biologists and anthropologists counter the tabloids Pyle studies, while rogue Forest Service employees and loggers swear of a vast conspiracy to deep–six true stories of unknown, upright hominoid apes among us. He attends Sasquatch Daze, where he meets scientists, hunters, and others who have devoted their lives to the search, only to realize that “these guys don't want to find Bigfoot―they want to be Bigfoot!” Where Bigfoot Walks was the inspiration for the 2020 film The Dark Divide, starring David Cross and Debra Messing. Since the book’s original publication, Pyle’s fresh experiences and findings have been added to his original work through an updated chapter. With an evaluation of recent DNA evidence from Bigfoot hair and scat, the study of speech phonemes in the “Sierra Sounds” purported Bigfoot recordings, an examination of the impact of the wildly popular Animal Planet series Bigfoot Hunters, the reemergence of the famous Bob Gimlin into the Bigfoot community, and more, Walking With Bigfoot keeps every Bigfoot enthusiast’s mind wide open to one of the biggest questions in the land and brings Pyle’s work on the “legend” of Bigfoot into the new century.

Download or read book Create the Life You Crave written by Rex Conner and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2023-04-18 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking to make a positive impact in your life? Look to your own internal guidance system first! The one activity each of us can pursue that would make the most significant impact in every life and in the world in general is to follow our internal guidance system—sometimes called the conscience. With Rex Conner’s insights, we can change the world! If you want to get what you crave out of life in just the way you want it, look no further than your own internal guidance system. There are many ways to apply this guidance if you know what to look for. This book contains a few of the most foundational and critical of those applications. For example, when we act on the assumption that love is unconditional and relationships are not, we are then free to be guided to make the best individual relationships in our lives. We won’t need to rely on other people or on societal norms or what might work in other relationships. When we learn to rely first on our internal guidance system to make the big crossroads decisions in our lives, we will be able to analyze and prioritize the avalanche of well-meaning advice we may receive from others. These are just two of the many applications of using your internal guidance system that will lead you to what you crave from your life. There is no preaching in Rex’s advice. The only advice Rex gives is to follow our internal guidance system until it leads us to the power within us! Who will this book serve? • You, if you are facing significant crossroads decisions in your life. • You, if all of the noise in the world leaves you feeling like you should do what you can about it. • You, if you feel that you should be contributing more to people or to life than you currently are, but don’t know to whom or how. • You, if you need permission to align your life with an inner voice or calling that seems to be compelling you to take action that you have been avoiding. • You, if you feel the need to develop your skills but realize current educational options will not result in that development. • You, if you are climbing the ladder of success but sense that it might be leaning against the wrong wall. • You, if you are compelled to make your life something that your inner guidance will judge to be a success. • You, if you have the influence to help someone who may need help. During preparations and training to become an Air Force fighter pilot, Rex had experiences that changed the direction of his life. When his wings were awarded, instead of flying fighters, he voluntarily became an instructor pilot and has been training people ever since. From the Air Force, “Train-a-saurus Rex” went on to become a trusted advisor inside more than fifty companies in more than a dozen industries. The uncommon path Rex introduces us to reflects the experience and knowledge he gained from his roles as trainer and advisor. By choosing to follow this path, we will find meaning and purpose in line with the only judge that matters: our own internal guidance system. Rex has the educational and professional credentials to lead, and he has the practical experience to help people find and follow the natural laws that underlie all human performance success.
Download or read book The Link written by Ola A.T. Onikoyi and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is clear evidence of discontent and disconnection in the life of many individuals, resulting to lack and limitations. The population of the poor is increasing in the midst of plenty. The hardworking people have little or nothing to show for their effort. The rich also cry profusely for one need or another. Those who claim to be men of God have no general answer to the immediate needs of their congregation; all these are proofs of an urgent need for a more pragmatic approach to solving our numerous problems. We urgently require knowing what links us to solutions and what connects us to the main domain of power. We are not totally impervious to the facts, but we need to get used to it. For instance, we know the air we breathe, but not all of us know the contents of this vitality of life. We know the mind, as in man, but many are ignorant of it as the powerhouse creative theater and the link to the spiritual mass where the creations and the Creator meet. We know the world, but many are yet to know that we are the world; we are the children of the most high God, so we should start giving what we want. If you need love, give it first. If you need wealth, give service. Whatsoever you need, be prepared to pay the price, and link it up with what you have. The world is a masterpiece of abundance. There is enough wealth to go round in the universe. Each and every one can be what he or she desires to be. All we need to know is how to link our inheritance, how to connect with our aspirations, and how to attract our yearnings. The eighty-two topics in this book will assist you to link up with yourself, connect with your God, and be able to attract solutions and the best things of life. Read passionately, keep thinking, and keep linking.
