Sinopse

Natural Compass Methods revives the ancient art of navigation using nature's clues, blending time-tested techniques with modern understanding. It focuses on celestial and terrestrial navigation, teaching readers to find their way using stars, plant life, and landscape features. 

 
The book emphasizes observation and self-reliance, challenging our dependence on technology and fostering a deeper connection with the natural world. For example, understanding plant growth patterns can reveal direction, mirroring how ancient cultures navigated. 

 
The book uniquely combines astronomy, botany, and geography to offer a holistic approach to outdoor navigation. It progresses from basic principles of observation and identifying key constellations like the Big Dipper, to interpreting plant tropisms and landscape formations. 

 
Ultimately, it integrates celestial and terrestrial methods for accuracy in diverse environments, offering practical guidance for hikers, campers, and anyone seeking to enhance their survival skills and environmental awareness.

    From the New York Times bestselling author of Saban and Lords of the Fly comes an exquisite collection of angling stories that span the twenty-first century.The thirty-one pieces in Rivers Always Reach the Sea—essays, as well as profiles of some of the biggest names in angling, including Lefty Kreh and Andy Mill—take the listener from the rainforests of Chile to the windswept tundra of Russia, from the remote mangrove-choked basins of Florida's Everglades to the congested littoral zone of New York City, and to many places in between.The quarry includes trout, Atlantic salmon, tarpon, bonefish, and striped bass, but the real quest is for something else entirely. Told in a voice described by the novelist, Carl Hiaasen, as "funny, wistful, and wonderful," the stories in Rivers Always Reach the Sea keep the focus on the "why" of the sport of fly fishing, and not the "how."

    In 2018, Kathy Elkind and her husband decided to take a grown-up “gap year” in Europe and walk the 1,400-mile Grande Randonnée Cinq (GR5) across The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and France. 
    At fifty-seven, Kathy has chosen comfort over hardship: she and Jim get to indulge in warm beds and delicious regional food every night and croissants in the mornings. But the GR5 is not all comfort. Walking day after day for ninety-eight days brings sickness, accommodation struggles, language barriers, and storm-shrouded mountains in the Alps. As the days unfold, however, she discovers her own wise strength and comes to the gratifying realization that a long marriage is like a long trail: there are ups and downs and it takes hard work to keep going, but the beauty along the way is staggering. 
    Written with raw honesty and compassion and rich with dazzling scenery, To Walk It Is To See It will inspire you to lace up your walking shoes and discover your own path. 
    “Showing us the importance of adventure and wonder throughout our lives, Elkind's wise and funny book will have you reaching for your bootlaces and backpack.” 
    Kerri Andrews, author of Wanderers: A History of Women Walking 
    "Full of profound personal insights and sharp observations of the world around her, Elkind's journey is a joy to follow."  
    Ben Shattuck author of Six Walks: In the Footsteps of Henry David Thoreau

  • Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 - Highlands & southern Cairngorms: 64 routes designed to complete the 141 southerly Munros in the most efficient way - cover

    Over 130 years ago, mountaineer Sir Hugh Munro published the first list of Munros – Scottish mountains with a height over 3,000 feet – and inspired the hobby of Munro 'bagging', a pastime which combines rugged adventure on a personal and literal journey around the Scottish Highlands with a nerdy compulsion to maintain a ticklist.
    Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 by Nicola Hardy (Munroist number 6,765) features 64 routes designed to link up the 141 most southerly Munros so you can enjoy the challenge of 'compleating' them at your own pace – over years, months or, in rare cases, even just a few weeks. It presents not only the most efficient routes, but does so in such a way that each route is a fantastic walk or run in its own right. The featured routes include the iconic Ring of Steall and Ben Nevis via the Carn Mòr Dearg Arête, alongside classic entry-level walks up the likes of Ben Chonzie, Ben Lomond in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs and Mount Keen in the Cairngorms.
    To assist you in building an itinerary, the routes are split into ten Highland hubs which include Glencoe, Fort William, Braemar and Pitlochry. These are chosen to be easy to access and with decent public transport links to help you make environmentally sustainable choices when you can. Base yourself in a Highland hub for a long weekend or a lengthier stay, springboard to Munro routes from each hub and return to access the recommended local facilities including shops, pubs and cafes.
    In addition, the book is packed with useful information, including 1:40,000 scale maps, elevation profiles, route directions, public transport and parking details, refreshments, downloadable GPX files for each route, and custom timings for walkers, trekkers, fastpackers and runners. Along with stunning photography, there are rest day suggestions, accommodation ideas to suit multiple budgets and a series of supportive indices through which you can find suitable walks, whatever your current level of hillwalking experience.
    Whatever your timescale for compleating Scotland's Munros, Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 is the indispensable guide to this Scottish hill challenge.
