This is the definitive reference to hillwalking for new and casual walkers with everything they need to know to explore the countryside with confidence.
As a respected author of walking classics such as The Book of the Bivvy and many titles in the Cicerone Walking Guide series, Ronald Turnbull brings together a lifetime of expert knowledge and advice that'll improve your walks whether big or small, from using a compass to reading a map, having a go at scrambling, walking with children and dealing with different weather conditions and emergencies.
Covering moorland, coastal and wild country walks and written in Ronald's own inimitable style, this is THE instructional manual you will need if you're new to walking. It's also for those existing walkers in search of new adventures, invaluable advice and handy tips. As well as the essential practical information, Ronald includes his favourite walking routes from all over the UK, all accompanied with beautiful photography and maps. This book will inspire you to put on your walking boots and get out there.
As Ronald says, 'I want to pass on practical skills that let you explore on your own, try a new way up a different hill, get away from the crowds, get lost a little, and still get back to the tea-shop in time for tea.'
