From the wind swept peaks of the Cairngorms to the rugged summits of the Peruvian Huayhuash the Trail walker can be found, enjoying the emptiness of open spaces and the challenge of the terrain. Driven by a greater sense of adventure to explore wilder country and seek more demanding walks, the Trail walker is a significant step up from the occasional rambler or recreational walker.
Able to navigate through all weathers and terrain; Trail walkers are independent, hard-core walkers and the aim of this handbook is to provide everything the experienced and novice walker needs to know to the full.
Clive Tully's enthusiasm for walking began at an early age in Switzerland and he has now trail walked in many countries of the world. He has assembled an oustanding team of contributors for this book, and those articles he wrote bear testament to his status as one of the top walking writers in Britain today.
