Download or read book Fearless on Everest written by Julie Summers and published by The Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Includes never-before-published letters and photographs * Written by an Irvine family member Mallory and Irvine. These two names have been inextricably joined since the two climbers disappeared on Mount Everest more than 75 years ago. Could they have been the first to reach the summit of the world's highest mountains-some 30 years earlier than Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay? Mallory's story has been well chronicled, but Irvine has always been overshadowed by his more famous climbing partner and little has been written about him. Who was he? Why was he invited by the British Everest Committee to join the 1924 expedition despite his limited mountaineering experience? And why did Mallory, 16 years his senior, select Irvine as his partner for the final assault on the summit? Julie Summers, great niece of Sandy Irvine, has been fascinated since childhood by the story of Uncle Sandy. In May 2000, Julie made an astonishing discovery: a long forgotten and unopened trunk containing Irvine's letters and photographs from Everest. Drawing on these and other material, Julie writes a revealing story of a fearless young adventurer whose life and death linked him with one of the greatest mountaineering legends of all time.
Download or read book Walking in Cheshire written by Carl Ransom Rogers and published by . This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lush green pastures of the central plain, the 'magpie' buildings and black and white cattle have come to symbolise the 'typical' Cheshire landscape, but the county has much more to offer than this picture postcard image. Within its boundaries you will find a great diversity of landscape, from deep wooded river valleys to windswept moors. Add to this its close proximity to the highly populated areas of Greater Manchester and Merseyside, along with over 2,000 miles of public footpaths, and you will realise what ideal walking country Cheshire provides. Walking in Cheshire has been written for anyone wanting to explore this diverse landscape. All abilities are catered for, from short easier routes suitable for families with young children to day-long rambles for the enthusiast. They are of modest length and difficulty and should be well within the capabilities of anyone of average fitness. Distances vary from three to seven and a half miles and depending, on the terrain, conditions and the individuals' fitness, should give between one and four hours' walking. particularly useful if you have limited time or inclement weather (or small children ). if you find distances too short, by studying the sketch maps you will find that in many cases two or more routes may be combined to give up to a full day's walking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wirral which Tom Slemen writes about in this fascinating book is a peninsula of ghosts, phantoms, spectres, doppelgangers, premonitions, reincarnations, astral voyages to another world and timeslips. The cases in Haunted Wirral confirm the old adage that truth really is stranger than fiction. Most ghost story books about Wirral include the same old weathered yarns about Mother Redcap's ghost and the spectres of smugglers, but the mysterious peninsula proved to be a stranger place than even Tom Slemen took it to be, with 51 tales weirder than anything found within the books of Stephen King, or Rod Serling's Twilight Zone. This edition includes a lost Wirral tale of Tom's that was recently found by the author concerning the "Thin Man" of Telegraph Road...
