wonderful read

What a great armchair book, I am inspired to do two new walks. wish there was a sequel, thisis a great book for checking out various classic walks, and decicding if they are for you. I love the format, please, please write another one.....

Lovely book... pictures and information could be better.

Having been to 5 of the 30 I have noticed that the hikes are most definitely spectacular, but the photos in this book are not. They are nice, just not spectacular and if you are a professional photographer in front of something spectacular then you should be able to take a spectacular photograph.Do not think you can plan a trip on the infomation in this book. It gives you a basic overview and a place to start your research. The list of 30 is great and I hope that I can finish them all. I finished the longest in the book last summer and it was truly spectacular.

Great book with great suggestions and cautions

I greatly enjoyed this book. The pictures and advice have prooved to be accurate and timely. The only addition I would add would be alternatives to trips that last longer than 3 or 4 days. It's a great book with great and useful information. I would recommend if for anyone who likes to dream of vacation well in advance and for whom planning and anticipation is half the fun.
