The Pesda Press Nature of the Brecon Beacons guide will help you identify many of the animals, insects, rocks and plants you are likely to encounter along your adventures.
The Brecon Beacons National Park stretches from the English border to the Tywi valley in Carmarthenshire, a distance of nearly 50 miles, covering an area of 520 square miles. This swathe of southern Wales is divided into four distinct areas of high ground by the rivers Usk, Taf and Tawe. These rivers, here in their enthusiastic infancy, descend to meet the salt water of the Bristol Channel by the three great cities of the south, Newport, Cardiff and Swansea respectively.

Vertebrate Publishing's Where There's a Hill is a frank and inspirational account of how one woman ran her way into the record books. It has been written by Sabrina Verjee, the ultra running phenomenon who became the first person to climb the Lake District's 214 Wainwright hills in under six days, running 325 miles with a huge 36,000 metres of ascent.
A new, comprehensive edition to the extensive bouldering in Albarracin. As before, all the approaches, areas and bouldering problems have been examined and revised by the author over several years. New lines have been added, including several lines that have never been documented in previous guidebooks.
The Adlard Coles Paddle Scotland is the definitive guide to seeing all the wonders of Scotland under paddle power. Scotland is one of the most appealing destinations for kayakers, canoeists and paddleboarders from all over the world. That's because if there is one country best seen from the water, it is Scotland. Loch Ness contains more water than all of the rivers and lakes in England and Wales combined – and there are 27,000 other lochs to explore as well. What's more, with 125,000km of rivers and 800 islands, there's always somewhere new to paddle. And the spectacular Scottish scenery only adds to the appeal.
The Panico Alpinverlag Frankenjura Band 2 Guide is the second guide in this collection and features even more sport climbing routes of this popular German destination. Together with volume 1, there are well over 1100 pages of information on the 12,600 routes in the northern Franconian Jura. Volume 2 features 6500 routes across a grade spread of grades - the guides are in German but with an English introduction and contain easy to follow topos and loads of colour photographs.
The Frankenjura is a big range of limestone crags in South-East Germany, north and east of Nurnberg. Some of the hardest bolted sport climbs in the world are located here – but there is a good range of other grades too. This topo guide is in German, but with an English introduction, and excellent clear maps and diagrams, it should be reasonably comprehensible to even the most partisan Brit. Grades are UIAA but a conversion chart is also included.
