La Gomera is the ultimate get-away-from-it-all island: easy-going, unspoilt, friendly, isolated from the hustle & bustle of modern living, & so laid back it`s virtually supine
- even the volcanoes have been dormant for millions of years. The walks, however, are a bit more energetic. For the new 4th edition of Walk! La Gomera Charles Davis has teamed up with Jan Kostura. Jan brings his wide experience & passion for the Canaries, checking, re-walking & revising existing routes, & adding a couple of his own adventures, including a new Top Three Gomeran walk. Two routes have been dropped as having become too dangerous, but the good news is that many of the more harum-scarum walks have been enhanced through path clearing & the addition of railings to the vertiginous stretches. Other good news is that the devastating forest fires of 2012 have proved not nearly as damaging as we feared, leaving most of our itineraries unscathed. In short, there is every reason to take off & explore La Gomera, or to return with this new edition to revive acquaintances & make some new discoveries at the same time. All the trails have been surveyed & mapped using GPS satellite navigation. The authors & their co-walkers have walked all these routes, ensuring accuracy & up to date information for hikers. Clear descriptions guide the walker both to the starting point & throughout the routes, with gradings, distances, timings & altitudes all symbolized, as are vertigo alerts & refreshment possibilities on or at ends of the routes. There are 34 detailed walking adventures with routes ranging from a couple of 90 minute 4 kilometre walks, up to challenging trails taking over 6 hours, covering 20 kilometres including ascents & descents of 1060 metres. Each route

Includes:: its own map sections with the route & waypoints clearly marked. Map sections are developed from the La Gomera Tour & Trail Super-Durable Map, the most up to date & toughest map of the isl&. GPS waypoint files for all the 34 routes are available in three formats as a free zip file download from the Discovery Walking Guides website.
