Features: 1. Unique mapping features
- In many walking guides the reader has to read a route description then try to relate it to the map. Our guides are easier to use because walking directions, tricky junctions, places to stay & eat, points of interest & walking times are all writ- ten onto the maps themselves in the places to which they apply. With their uncluttered clarity, these are not general-purpose maps but fully- edited maps drawn by walkers for walkers. Downloadable GPS waypoints also included.2. The largest scale walking maps available
- At just under 1:20, 000 (8cm or 31/8 inches to 1 mile) our maps are bigger than even the most detailed walking maps currently available in the shops.3. An all-in-one guide
- Trailblazer guides include practical informa- tion not usually found in walking guides to the UK: reviews of places to stay, places to eat, attractions along the way & detailed pub- lic transport information showing all access points on the path, for weekend & day walkers.4. 40 large-scale maps at just under 1:20, 000 (8cm or 31/8 inches to 1 mile). 5. Colour overview & stage maps (one stage per page) with trail profiles.6. Walking with a dog. Henry Stedman, the author, was accompanied along the Dales Way by his dog, Daisy.

` As compelling as it is tough, sidestepping piety in favour of clear-eyed infectious anger` Sunday Times Irene Dalila Mwathi comes from Kenya with a brutally violent personal history.
