A look both serious and humorous at what it takes to do a long-distance or challenge walk - the mental toughness, experience, the slight madness - plus notes on planning and undertaking the best such routes. Ronald Turnbull, veteran of many a long-distance and challenge walk, intersperses sound advice with wry recollections of his experience of the 3 Peaks Challenge and other such routes throughout the British Isles. Suitable for aspiring or novice long-distance walkers, the guidebook provides tips on how to minimise the suffering, to stay safe, to raise money for charity perhaps, and to find a surprising amount of enjoyment along the way. Old hands will enjoy comparing their experiences with the author’s reminiscences of the highs and lows of long-distance routes. Includes route outlines and schedules, tips on minimizing the environmental impact of challenge routes and suggestions for new ?3 peaks’ and other long-distance routes. Includes sections on the following routes: ? National Three Peaks ? Yorkshire Three Peaks ? Lancashire Three Peaks ? Three Peaks of Somerset ? Ten Tors (Dartmoor) ? Lyke Wake Walk ? Derwent Watershed ? Across Wales Walk ? Lairig Ghru ? Fifty from your Front Door (do-it-yourself) ? Welsh 3000s ? Lakes 3000s ? Cumbria’s Old Country Tops ? Cairngorm 4000s ? Mourne’s Seven Sevens ?
