Well, This Is a Disaster. The British Wilderness Edition: What to Do When the Great Outdoors Becomes Rather Inconvenient
Britain's wilderness rarely looks dramatic enough to be dangerous. There may be a car park nearby, a caf on the map and somebody confidently insisting that the weather will clear. Then the path disappears, the tide removes the return route or a minor injury turns an ordinary walk into a much longer day.
Well, This Is a Disaster. The British Wilderness Edition is a practical, illustrated guide to preparing for-and responding to-the problems most likely to interrupt a British outdoor adventure.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
- plan routes, check-ins, weather, tides and daylight;
- respond calmly when lost, injured, cold, cut off or caught by worsening conditions;
- handle water hazards, livestock, ticks, stings, camping problems and an unexpected night outside;
- give rescuers clear information and make your group easier to find; and
- use eleven reusable worksheets covering trip planning, equipment, emergency calls and post-trip reviews.
Written in clear British English with dry humour, vintage-style illustrations and step-by-step action pages, this book is designed for walkers, campers, families, dog owners and coastal visitors who want sensible preparation without the survivalist theatrics.
The countryside will still be there tomorrow. The biscuits may not.
