Many of Yorkshire's half a million acres are over 600 metres, peaking at more than 700 metres above sea level. These are wild, bleak and barren places, commanding heights of peat moor and limestone crag, windswept, inspiring and dramatic. But for all these glorious uplands it's the dales - the valleys - which truly catch the imagination. As Cumbria has its Lake District, and Derbyshire its Peak District, so Yorkshire is justifiably famous for its 'valley district'; The Yorkshire Dales. We can't guarantee the warmth of the sun, but we can just about cast-iron guarantee the warmth of the welcome to anyone who's come to enjoy our beautiful dales. To those of us lucky enough to live here, it's simply God's Own Country, and we enjoy talking about it as much as we enjoy walking it and sharing it. If you are a stranger in the Dales, you won't stay that way for long. All 40 walking routes include: walking route summary, ratings for Effort Time Distance Ascents/Descents ! Refreshments and Vertigo risk, fully detailed walk description including frequent timings to aid navigation and check your progress, GPS waypoints at every key point on every route, full colour 1:40,000 scale Ordnance Survey licenced mapping for each route, short walk and stroll alternatives. Synopsis Including GPS Waypoint lists and a Place Name Index, this 160-page colour book contains walking routes within the Yorkshire Dales (North & Central) region. Wire-O spiral binding allows the book to lay flat and be folded back on itself without damage. It features: route summary of exertion rating; refreshments rating; and more.

Review
A pleasure to read and a pleasure to walk, A Customer (Amazon Reader Review) I thought I knew this area but I discovered some real gems in this book. Plus, the style of writing is so entertaining as well as informative. There are plenty of routes, all with up to date OS maps, at various levels of difficulty and distances/times. I have only had time to try one so far, but am itching to get out there again. Ideal Walks Book By A. M. Pleasant "Plez" (Reeth, Richmond, N Yorks United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME - Amazon Reader Review) The authors have added some humour and many historical facts that make the walks even more interesting and enjoyable. The clarity of the maps is of an extremely high standard. The book is just the right size for the walker and the ring-binding makes for a very simple access to the information. Excellent value at a very reasonable cost.

Format:Spiral-bound
This is a cracking book but be advised that the majority of walks are quite long so if you're a novice, (like us#, the shorter walks #around 5 miles) are limited.I'm sure we'll get through them all eventually!
