With Charles Davis' excellent walk descriptions you'll know which routes are for you - and all of them are a true adventure. Andorra is best known as a winter package destination but Walk! Andorra is the other Andorra of a traditional, timeless, romantic, landlocked principality high in the Pyrenees, the Andorra of independent character and a cheerful contempt for other people's frontiers, of smugglers' paths and high mountain passes, of medieval villages and remote refuges, the Andorra of a thousand lakes, of tumbling torrents, towering peaks, splendid vistas, meadows full of wild flowers, and some of the finest paths in the Pyrenees. In addition to the walking Walk! Andorra includes comprehensive background information on the principality and accommodation, mountain biking routes, history and legends, and even what to do when you are not walking. Walk! Andorra; - a modern classic from Charles Davis, the new 'rock star' of mountain walking. Full GPS Track and Waypoint files for Walk! Andorra are included on the Personal Navigator Files CD published by Discovery Walking Guides.

Andorra came as a pleasant surprise, plenty of infrastructure still open in the summer, great walking ably assisted by a few ski lifts for some ascents and a landscape of breathtaking beauty. How come nobody seems to know of this idyll apart from Charles Davis? Great walks, full background and next year I will try the overnighting in refuges.

The walking is rugged, to say the least, but the rewards are magnificent; wonderful alpine meadows, lakes wild flowers - and there's hardly anyone there outside the winter sport season. This is a gem - go now before eveyone discovers it as a summer destination. Comment Comment (1) | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

(Tipperary, Ireland.) - See all my reviews This is a superb book. It is the way guide books should be written. Light and informative, unlike many other specimens in the genre, it doesn't take either itself or its subject too seriously. One delight - the inclusion of "Waypoint Lists" in Latitude/Longitude for GPS users. For those not familiar with either concept, perhaps the old saying "You are not lost whe you do not know where you are going; you are lost when you don't know where you are" would help. Let's say you are following one of the routes described by Charles Davis and the clouds/fog roll in. Knowing that the next waypoint, or position-point, on the route is at such and such a location, means that you can get there with confidence, using the Find facility in a GPS unit. That alone makes the book worth the money. The photographs and maps, while small, are helpful in giving a feel for the terrain and direction. I have only done a few of the walks described, but have found that the accuracy level of the descriptions is very high indeed. I could claim to be a pretty experienced walker/climber, with wide experience in the British Isles, and ranging as far afield as the Himalaya and South America. I would see the function of a Walking Guide such as this, as being twofold. It should provide sufficiently accurate descriptions to enable you to choose the kind of route which would suit your interest and ability. Also, when you are there it should provide you with the answers to the questions that arise on site. Walk! Andorra, in my opinion, scores well under both headings. Andorra is a splendid place, when you get away from the handful of over-exploited locations. This guide book will enable you to set forth with knowledge and confidence to enjoy its wonders.
