WATERSIDE WALKS IN THE LAKE DISTRICT has been in print since 1992 and is one of the best-selling guides to walking guides to the Lakes. Each of the 28 walks is based alongside, around or, in some cases, through water. The routes range from short, 1 mile strolls to picturesque waterfalls, to 10 mile circuits of the lakes.

The book is about to be published in its 4th edition. Originally published by Ward Lock, WATERSIDE WALKS has been completely revised and updated and is now produced by Sigma Press.

 

ROCKY RAMBLER'S WILD WALKS, by Iain Peters and Colin Shelbourn, is the first Lake District walking guide to put the children in charge. Ten graded routes encourage the children in the family to lead the walk, helped along by Sid Squirrel, Harriet Herdwick and a variety of colourful cartoon characters (not forgetting Rocky and Rachel Rambler). Each walk is presented as a board game, with the route threading its way across a cartoon version of the landscape. Hints, tips, puzzles and games keep the kids engaged.

The books has now sold over 16,000 copies and is published by Cicerone.

 

TAKE A HIKE is a collection of cartoons from the great outdoors (the landscape, not the magazine).

If you know anyone who spends more time looking at their GPS than the view, who can't move without a trekking pole or who can bore for England on the subject of breathable waterproofs, this is the book you need.

TAKE A HIKE was originally published by Cicerone and signed copies are now available direct from me. Get in touch to find out how.

Finally, two books currently out of print.

Great Walks sold over 120,000 copies and went into two paperback editions.

Stirling Moss's Great Drives sold over 20,000 copies in hardback & paperback.

The licences have reverted to me to so if you are a publisher and would like to find out more about either title, get in touch.
