The base map, derived from satellite imagery, has contours at 200m intervals enhanced by relief shading & colouring to show glaciers, the snow line at 6000m, barren l&, forests, etc. Numerous spot heights are marked in the high-laying areas, but not very many & in places none on the south side of the trail. Important peaks & mountain passes are prominently marked. Boundaries of national parks & other protected areas are also shown. The High Route of the GHT is clearly highlighted & adjoining local routes are divided into main trails & footpaths. Icons indicate locations of campsites & hotels/lodges, health posts, stupas, gompas & mani walls both along the GHT itself & in other locations on the map. Settlements are graded into large towns, towns, villages & small villages. The maps have latitude & longitude lines at intervals of 5’. All information is in English.

Proving that sailing is not just the husband`s pursuit, this charming narrative of one couple`s first long distance voyage is told from the wife`s perspective. Writing in a lively, humorous way, Sandra Clayton gives an entertaining account of her & husband David`s maiden cruise from the UK, down the Atlantic coast & into the warm waters of the Mediterranean. Conscious that old age or poor health could prevent them from sailing away for much longer, they left the world of work behind to chase their dream of adventure. Conditions are sometimes maddening, occasionally dangerous, but frequently magical. Marine creatures enchant their days while ships that pass in the night add a touch of romance. But the book is far more than just the story of the Claytons` 2000 mile trip. Somewhat unprepared for what faced them on the way, they had to learn from their own mistakes, finding themselves in places & situations where they never expected to be. The book has plenty to offer those who might consider embarking on a similar voyage of their own: learn how the Claytons did it, which route they took, the beautiful locations they visited, who they met along the way, & their good decisions as well as their bad. A great bunkside read, it may inspire others to make a similar break themselves. ...
