The first one-volume walking guide in English to the most popular long-distance route in Europe walked by British tourists. With the advent of low-cost airlines it is as cheap for the British tourist to go to mainland Europe as to the extremities of the UK
- which is why in recent years continental long-distance routes have become increasingly popular with the British walker. Most popular by far is El Camino de Santiago de Compostela, the ancient Christian pilgrimage route that has been travelled for over a thousand years to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, where, legend has it, the bones of St James are buried. This guide follows the most popular route, starting at St Jean-Pied-de-Port in south-west France & heading all the way westwards across northern Spain for 800km to finish at Cape Finisterre on the Atlantic coast. Now, extending its series of Trail Guides beyond the UK for the first time, Aurum publishes the first compact one-volume guide to the path, fully illustrated with photography, it offers comprehensive route directions, sectional route maps, gradient profiles, a history of the route & details of sights to see & separate chapter guides to the main cities along the way like Pamplona, & a list of accommodation en route.

The Valleys of the Meuse & the Chiers in a series of cycling maps from Sportoena covering Belgium & the adjoining regions of the neighbouring countries, with local routes, long-distance cycling paths, classification according to the density of traffic, campsites & places of interest, etc. Brightly coloured base & the presentation of the road network differ greatly from what one usually sees on maps at this scale & may not appeal to all map users, but are designed to provide a clear picture not only of the recommended cycling routes but also of the alternatives along other roads. Colour coding of the routes looks at the first glance somewhat complicated but on closer inspection it does provide a very detailed classification, highlighting the recommended paths whilst at the same time indicating the density of motorized traffic on them. The maps also show routes along rivers or disused railway lines, & where cycling networks have been set up the routes with their orientation post numbers. Long-distance cycling routes are prominently marked. All other roads shown on the maps, from motorways to country lanes, are also classified according to the density of motorized traffic. The maps also show selected hiking paths & railway lines with stations. A range of symbols highlight various facilities & places of interest, including campsites & holiday villages, nature reserves, viewpoints, war cemeteries & other memorials or monuments, etc. Topography is meant to be indicated by the colouring of the base, but the gradation of the colours is too fine to provide any effective information. Wooded & heath areas are marked. Most titles are double-sided. The maps have no index or geographical coordinates. Map legend
