Steve Ashton’s Cicerone guide to Scrambling in Snowdonia is an extensive companion on any keen scrambler’s trip to mid-Wales. Each of the routes described are in the northern half of Snowdonia National Park where some of the most rugged mountains are found; opportunities in the southern half being scarcer. Ashton divides the area into four main regions, from north to south these being the Carneddau, the Glyders, the Snowdon group & Eifionydd. Most detail is given to the Glyders, where some of the best scrambles are found; the large majority being focussed on Tryfan, Glyder Fach & Glyder Fawr. The choice of routes is personally selected by Ashton & features over sixty routes, the range of difficulty varying between scrambly walks to the boundaries of proper rock climbing. Therefore the guide is suitable for those with an average level of fitness & a head for heights in addition to those with advanced mountaineering skills & experience. Labelled black & white photographs helps indicate the different stage of each routes alongside the detailed route descriptions. ...

A. D. Miller's Snowdrops is an intensely riveting psychological drama that unfolds over the course of one Moscow winter, as a young Englishman's moral compass is spun by the seductive opportunities revealed to him by a new Russia: a land of hedonism & desperation, corruption & kindness, magical dachas & debauched nightclubs; a place where secrets
- & corpses
- come to light only when the deep snows start to thaw
- Snowdrops is a chilling story of love & moral freefall: of the corruption, by a corrupt society, of a corruptible young man. It is taut, intense & has a momentum as irresistible to the reader as the moral danger that first enchants, then threatens to overwhelm, its narrator.
