Short ascents are marked with red lines. The Freeride Maps are based on topographic maps 1:25, 000. They contain all essential information about the terrain that is necessary for planning & going freeriding. The maps are printed on water resistant & indestructible paper. On the back side, the maps include all relevant planning, safety & rescue information. ...

Engl&, says Matthew Engel, is the most complicated place in the world. &, as he travels through each of the historic English counties, he discovers that`s just the start of it. Every county is fascinating, the product of a millennium or more of history: still a unique slice of a nation that has not quite lost its ancient diversity. He finds the well-dressers of Derbyshire & the pyromaniacs of Sussex; the Hindus & huntsmen of Leicestershire; the goddess-worshippers of Somerset. He tracks down the real Lancashire, hedonistic Essex, & the most mysterious house in Middlesex. In Durham he goes straight from choral evensong to the dog track. As he seeks out the essence of each county
- from Yorkshire`s broad acres to the microdot of Rutland
- Engel always finds the unexpected. Engel`s England is a totally original look at a confused country: a guidebook for people who don`t think they need a guidebook. It is always quirky, sometimes poignant & often extremely funny.
