Bern area, map No. 243T, at 1:50, 000 in a special hiking edition of the country’s topographic survey, published by Swisstopo in cooperation with the Swiss Hiking Federation. Cartography, identical to the standard version of the survey, is highly regarded for its superb use of graphic relief & hill shading to provide an almost 3-D picture of Switzerland`s mountainous terrain. Contours are at 20m intervals. An overprint highlights routes maintained by the SHF, distinguishing between hiking routes, mountain routes requiring proper footwear, & alpine routes where equipment is needed. Paths which are part of the national or regional network of long-distance hiking routes are specially marked & in the more recent editions are annotated with their official numbers. The maps show mountain huts, refuges & in remote areas also inns, plus roads with bus service & the positions of bus stops. All the maps have a 1-km grid of the Swiss national coordinates.

Bernard Hinault is one of the greatest cyclists of all time. He is a five-time winner of the Tour de France & the only man to have won each of the Grand Tours on more than one occasion. Three decades on from his retirement, he remains the last Frenchman to win the Tour de France. His victory in 1985 marks the turning point when the nation who had dominated the first eight decades of the race they had invented suddenly found they were no longer able to win it. Hinault is the last `old-school` champion: a larger-than-life character from a working-class background, capable of winning on all terrains, in major Tours & one-day Classics. Nicknamed the ` Badger` for his combative style, he led a cyclists` strike in his first Tour & instigated a legendary punch-up with demonstrators in 1982 while in the middle of a race. Hinault`s battles with team-mates Laurent Fignon & Greg Le Mond provide some of the greatest moments in Tour history. In Bernard Hinault & the Fall & Rise of French Cycling, number one bestselling author William Fotheringham finally gets to the bottom of this fascinating character & explores the reasons why the nation that considers itself cycling`s home has found it so hard to produce another champion. ...
