Publisher's Synopsis

This is the definitive reference to hillwalking for all walkers with everything they need to know to explore the countryside with confidence. Whether it's fellwalking, hillwalking, hiking or simply going for a stroll - a walk in some wild country is the world's favourite leisure activity. The British Isles, with our green and craggy hills, heather moors, silver rivers and thousands of miles of beautiful coastline, is one of the best places in the world to go walking. If you're in search of new adventures, invaluable advice and handy tips, The Hillwalking Bible is for you. This instructional manual gives a complete rundown on the gear you need and how to navigate with a compass, map and mobile phone. It includes advice on where and when to go, long distance walking, backpacking, wild camping, and walking abroad. As a respected author of walking guides, Ronald Turnbull brings together a lifetime of expert knowledge that'll improve your walks, big or small, with advice on scrambling, walking with children and dogs, and dealing with different weather conditions and emergencies. Ronald also includes 16 of his favourite walking routes, with stunning photography and maps, from the valleys of the Peak District to the Scottish Highlands. This book will encourage you to head out, feet first, into the hills and the wilderness of the UK's enchanted isles.
