Whilst most names are similar enough to be easily recognizable, e.g. Namche Bajar for Namche Bazar or Lantan for Langtang, we have been told of confusion & difficulties arising from different spellings appearing on these maps.TREKKING ROUTES & TOURIST INFORMATION: whilst the maps show foot trails & mark locations of temples, etc, they carry no specific trekking information.

We are in Ireland & it`s an awfully long time ago. Centuries & centuries. The country is supposed to have gone Christian, but there`s still magic in the air, salmon in the rivers, berries in the bushes, druids in the forest, a Worm in the lake, fairy music in the distance. Manchan`s mother wants to make a monk of Manchan. Manchan most emphatically does not want to be made a monk of. He`d rather sing songs with his father, or go fishing with his friend, Pagan-of the-Six-Toes, or go charging through the forest with his pet pig, Muck, or go bare-back riding over the bog on the chieftain`s mad ram, Balor. Anything fun or adventurous or magical, & absolutely nothing to do with turnips, penance, prayers, monks & chanting. Poor Manchan! The more he mucks about having fun, the more his mother is determined to tame him. ...

Mud, Sweat & Tears is a fascinating account of the life & adventures – so far! – of the remarkable Bear Grylls. The book sheds light on Grylls’ early development, from growing up on the Isle of Wight where he was taught by his father to sail & climb at an early age, to leading out-of-bounds night-climbing missions at school & then taking up mountaineering & martial arts as a teenager. These experiences led him to the foothills of the mighty Himalayas & then to a grandmaster`s karate training camp in Japan. Upon his return, he embarked on the notoriously gruelling selection course for the British Special Forces to join 21 SAS
- a journey which pushed him to the limits of physical & mental endurance. Then, in a horrific free-fall parachuting accident in Africa, Bear broke his back in three places. Astonishingly, only eighteen months after being told he might never walk again, Bear defied doctors` expectations, & at twenty-three, became one of the youngest ever climbers to scale Everest. But this was just the beginning… Known & admired by millions from his global TV series, books, & his work as Chief Scout to the Scouting Association, Bear Grylls has survived where few would dare to go. Here, for the first time, Bear tells the story of his remarkable, action-packed life. Gripping, moving & wildly exhilarating, Mud, Sweat & Tears is a must-read for adrenalin junkies & armchair adventurers alike. Now who knows what he’ll do next?
