Product Description

Product Description
Around London South is one of 20 titles in the new Philip's Cycle Tours series. The series is directly derived from the highly successful Ordnance Survey Cycle Tours series, but has been updated and improved, with a new focus on the needs of cyclists and the cycling market in the 21st century. Each book in the series contains 20 routes, both on-road and off-road, taking you along low-traffic or traffic free roads, tracks and paths. The route takes you through some of the most beautiful countryside and prettiest villages in Britain, and past some of the finest and most interesting houses, churches, castles, gardens and monuments in the land. Around London South offers an escape from the noise and fumes by exploring the quiet lanes, bridleways and byways in the areas around London south of the Thames. Rides take you through a wide range of landscapes from the heathlands of Surrey and rolling hills of the Downs to the orchards and plantations of Kent. A unique feature of Philip's Cycle Tours is the superb Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 mapping showing the routes of the rides. This mapping not only gives the detail and clarity you need to follow the route with ease and safety, but allows you to plan short-cuts and detours, to look out for new places of interest, and to become truly involved in the lansdcape you are cycling through. The mapping now shows National Cycle Network routes and National Long-Distance Footpaths. Clear directions are given alongside the mapping, and cross-profile diagrams make planning the pacing of each ride an easy task, even for the beginner. Extra information includes an introduction to the area of the route, nearest railway stations, places of interest with descriptions, guides to refreshment stops, and clear indications of distance, grade and terrain. The books are beautifully and practically designed, with colour photographs throughout the ultra-clear layout.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great book, but not as a companion "Around London", 7 Nov 2005
I bought the Ordnance Survey book "Cycle Tours: 24 One-day Routes Around London" from Amazon and I am delighted with it. When I saw the Philip's "Around London South" I snapped it up, hoping that it would contain more routes.

Sadly "Around London South" contains, with a single exception, the same South-of-London off-road trails found in the "Around London" book. While I expected a bit of overlap, but 7 quid for one new route is a little much.

Having said that, if you don't own any of these books, then I'd certainly recommend them. "Around London" has rekindled my interest in off-road cycling. The guides contain road and off-road routes that are well described and take into account the changes in terrain brought about by the changing seasons.

A great series - but too much overlap!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great day out, 27 April 2003
Having recently purchased bicycles we were delighted with what we found in this practical book. Clear mapping, accurate route descriptions and above all beautiful routes through new and interesting scenery interspersed with some great pub lunches! We would thoroughly recommend the book to anyone interested in an energetic day out of discovery!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must buy for all cyclists, 7 May 2003
By A Customer
This book will offer several guides for cycling around the south of London, buy this book and you are guarenteed to enjoy hours, or even weeks of cycling. The book is filled with lots of useful information and has been a great book to have. *Must Buy*
