    RV living full time is fun! But costs can, and will, accumulate fast on the road. That's why you need a reliable and cost-effective way to power up your RV lifestyle, and this book will tell you how!    
    Solar power is one of the best ways to get the energy that you need, no matter where you are, while also being good for the environment. There are a lot of times when you are traveling in your RV, and you just can't find a place to hook in and get the electricity that is needed to keep the appliances in the RV going. 
    This guidebook will teach you how to set up your own solar panel array so that you have electricity no matter where you are. It has all the tips that you need to set up your own solar power in your RV. 
    We will start with some basics, such as how to figure out the electricity requirements that are needed in the rv and how to pick the right parts to use for the solar power. We will then move on to how to set up each part, how to connect them all together so they work properly, and so much more. And when this is all done, we are going to show you how to hook up your different appliances to the batteries so that they can receive the power that they need.

    Roads shape our society and are shaped by it: they are a slice through history, a slice through landscape, and a slice through life. They are the most basic part of the transport network, used daily by most people, but their fascinating stories are largely ignored. 
      
    This is the tale of one such road – the Holyhead Road – that runs through the heart and history of Britain. 
      
    This road dates back to Roman times and has a rich history of battles and pilgrimages, trade and exploration. In the last two centuries its importance has waxed and waned, from the great days of the coaching trade, through decline with the advent of the railways, to coming back to life with the invention of the motor car.  
      
    This Ancient Road is a truly fascinating journey through time. Nostalgic, informative, quirky and charming Andrew Hudson brings history to life in this marvellous debut.

    Marianne Bohr and her husband, about to turn sixty, are restless for adventure. They decide on an extended, desolate trek across the French island of Corsica—the GR20, Europe’s toughest long-distance footpath—to challenge what it means to grow old. Part travelogue, part buddy story, part memoir, The Twenty is a journey across a rugged island of stunning beauty little known outside Europe. 
    From a chubby, non-athletic child, Bohr grew into a fit, athletic person with an “I’ll show them” attitude. But hiking The Twenty forces her to transform a lifetime of hard-won achievements into acceptance of her body and its limitations. The difficult journey across a remote island provides the crucible for exploring what it means to be an aging woman in a youth-focused culture, a physically fit person whose limitations are getting the best of her, and the partner of a husband who is growing old with her. More than a hiking tale, The Twenty is a moving story infused with humor about hiking, aging, accepting life’s finite journey, and the intimacy of a long-term marriage—set against the breathtaking beauty of Corsica’s rugged countryside.

    At forty, Mary South had a beautiful home, good friends, and a successful career in book publishing. But she couldn't help feeling that she was missing something intangible but essential. So she decided to go looking for it . . . at sea. Six months later she had quit her job, sold the house, and was living aboard a forty-foot, thirty-ton steel trawler she rechristened Bossanova. Despite her total lack of experience, South set out on her maiden voyage—a fifteen-hundred-mile odyssey from Florida to Maine—with her one-man, two-dog crew. But what began as the fulfillment of an idle wish became a crash course in navigating the complicated byways of the self.

    A woman’s tale of the transformative power of walking Britain’s ancient pilgrim paths 
    ‘Raw, honest, powerful. I couldn't put it down.’ Cerys Matthews 
    On an assignment to walk the most famous pilgrimage in the world – the Camino de Santiago, in northern Spain – Phoebe Smith somehow lost her way. 
    Having spent a lifetime exploring unfamiliar places, she quit her dream job, ended her long-term relationship and headed home to North Wales to discover the point to… everything. 
    In her search for answers she found herself – quite by accident – walking some of Britain’s oldest pilgrim paths. And by following these old ways, she ended up confronting past traumas that she thought she had laid to rest. 
    But while it follows holy trails, this is not a book about religion. From losing her mother as a teenager to surviving toxic relationships, Phoebe offers an unflinchingly honest look at her battle with an eating disorder, depression, and the pitfalls of newfound singledom. 
    Skilfully weaving together Phoebe’s own story with those of countless travellers past and present, Wayfarer reveals how nature and place can heal past wounds, offering a pathway to salvation she’d never thought existed. 
    Phoebe Smith's Wayfarer is a best-selling autobiography that takes readers on her personal journey through Europe's ancient pilgrim paths. Her memoirs, filled with essays of her travels, reveal the healing power of nature and place, making this book a must-read for those interested in travelogues and personal transformation. 
    For fans of Stephen Neale (Wild Camping), Alastair Humphreys (Moods of Future Joys), John D Burns (Wild Winter), Jen Benson (The Wild Year), and Terry Marsh (The West Highland Way).
