Walk
Snowdonia Peaks (Walk Snowdonia S.)
Snowdonia in North Wales hosts a spectacular mountain range
where Everest climbers honed their skills before taking on the
world's highest peaks. Described in this work is a mountain
walking route over 20 Snowdonia summits, depicted by picture
illustrations showing these mountains in winter snow. The works
of Snowdonia's most famous bards are featured in this volume.

Valley Walk (Recreational Path Guides)
The book leads the reader from north to south, contrary to many
other books. The reasons are valid and were found to be appropriate.
The description of the actual route makes the official route
markers redundent, but I found myself using both, sometimes
just to confirm the route being taken was correct. Without using
any other tool, eg compass/OS map, I only went off track once
and that for only 200yds. The prose used by the writer is non-repetative,
accurate and, in some instances, quite charming, with a touch
of appropriate humour. Being read before undertaking the walk,
the book was easy to read and understand with no specialist
knowledge being required. However, the seasoned walker would
not be affronted by the level of the book. In summary, the book
caters for all standards of walker, is suitable for day walks
and those wishing to complete the whole route in one go, and
will guide the reader throughout the whole journey without the
need to buy the four or five Ordnance Survey maps required to
cover the route. I would recommend purchasing this book if any,
or all, of the route is to be walked or cycled.
