''Without doubt JBS, as many know him, is one of the world''s most eminent explorers''Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Bt.

If meetings with dangerous wildlife, stories of navigating rapid-filled rivers and tales of encounters with bandits are your thing, this new collection from a man who has become an institution in his own right is an essential read.

Durham (Slow Travel) - Gemma Hall - Bog - Bradt Travel Guides - Plusbog.dk

Durham (Slow Travel) - Gemma Hall - Bog - Bradt Travel Guides - Plusbog.dk

Travel writer Gemma Hall explored Durham extensively by bicycle and on foot to produce this brand new title in Bradt''s award-winning series of Slow travel guides to UK regions. Walkers, cyclists, wildlife lovers, families, foodies, culture vultures and railway enthusiasts are all catered for, with coverage of a wide range of attractions. As the only comprehensive guidebook to the county, it also contains all the practical information you could need to plan and enjoy time in this delightful, diverse yet under-explored English county. Unexpected treats throng here, from Tanfield Railway (the world''s oldest line) to fellside Methodist chapels accessed by remote footpaths crossing silvery burns, and the Bowes Museum, where an automated silver swan comes to life at 2pm every day to ''catch'' a fish. And even well-known sites offer surprises: famed for its cathedral, medieval streets, world-renowned university and 500 listed buildings, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Durham city is also the birthplace of English mustard. Durham city may be fêted by up to 4.37 million tourists a year (2019 figures), yet few visitors venture into the county''s wider countryside, with its unsung wooded valleys, old mining villages, Heritage Coast Path, and the rugged hills and valleys of Weardale and Upper Teesdale, where national nature reserves harbour thriving meadows filled with relict plants from the last Ice Age. Key heritage attractions such as Castle Barnard''s medieval fort and High Force waterfall (one of England''s greatest) are described in intimate detail - but so too are many places that have never made it into a guide on Durham: lesser-known museums, historical buildings and birdwatching sites. Here too are more remote treats that need tracking down by cycling old railway trails, or on foot, following old packhorse trails to reach abandoned collieries, secluded bathing pools and the display grounds of the black grouse, a rare gamebird. Whether you are keen to visit Roman forts or understand England''s industrial heritage, to wander the heathery uplands of Moor House or stride boldly along miles upon miles of coastline, discover Durham with Bradt''s unique Slow guide.

Skye and the Inner Hebrides - Katie Featherstone - Bog - Bradt Travel Guides - Plusbog.dk

Skye and the Inner Hebrides - Katie Featherstone - Bog - Bradt Travel Guides - Plusbog.dk

Bradt''s Skye & the Inner Hebrides is the new, thoroughly updated, second edition of the most detailed standalone travel guidebook to this group of Scottish islands. Author Katie Featherstone, who loved the Inner Hebrides so much she moved there, features 20 inhabited islands, from the Isle of Skye in the north to community-owned Gigha in the south, plus the gateway towns of Oban and Mallaig on the Scottish mainland. Ransacked by Vikings, caught between warring clan chiefs and exploited by mainland nobility, the ongoing survival of Inner Hebridean communities testifies to the strength of their character. Reclaiming an identity through their native Gaelic language, ceilidh dancing and traditional industries remains a struggle, but despite only around 20,000 people living across the region, each inhabited island has a distinctive history, character and culture. With a bridge to the mainland, Skye sees the most visitors; it boasts the most varied landscape and most obvious attractions, including its Highland Games. Other, smaller islands remain relatively remote and less affected by the outside world. Pious Iona, Islay with its whisky, and Canna - where the village shop still runs via honesty box - all have their own individual charm.Beyond cultural intrigue, the Inner Hebrides are renowned for their wild places, striking a perfect balance between feeling remote and being accessible on any budget. Scotland''s ''right to roam'' provides infinite walking possibilities. Away from the villages, miles of intricate coastline, with sandy beaches and towering cliffs, enclose swathes of heathery moorland and hills. Hikers can enjoy Mull''s dramatic rock formations or Jura''s ''Paps'', with only a herd of red deer or a soaring eagle for company. On Skye, you can go beachcombing in the morning, then watch the Highland Games in the afternoon. Wildlife-watchers can snorkel with basking sharks off Coll, listen for corncrakes on Tiree, admire wintering geese on Islay or spot dolphins off Mull.With extensive listings of accommodation and eating options, detailed transport advice, walking routes and packing lists, plus insights into history, myths and lifestyle, Bradt''s Skye & the Inner Hebrides is the ideal companion for an enjoyable visit.

Okinawa & Japan's Southern Islands - Jo Davey - Bog - Bradt Travel Guides - Plusbog.dk

Okinawa & Japan's Southern Islands - Jo Davey - Bog - Bradt Travel Guides - Plusbog.dk

Brand new from Bradt is Okinawa and Japan''s Southwest Islands, the sole travel guidebook dedicated to the archipelago stretching from the southern tip of mainland Japan to Taiwan, whose landscapes include award-winning beaches, coral reefs, tropical jungles and ancient forests. This guide contains all the detailed information that travellers need to get the most out of their visit, from accommodation and restaurants to transport and sights. Japan expert Jo Davey complements this with rich context and entertaining insights to help readers understand this fascinating region, covering culture, recipes, architectural highlights, historical episodes and traditional folktales.Japan''s Southwest Islands are a remote but rewarding and geographically diverse area that comprises the Satsunan Islands (formed of the Osumi and Amami islands) and the Ryukyu Islands (consisting of the Okinawa, Kerama, Miyako and Yaeyama islands). The capital city of Naha on Okinawa-honto is a bright and busy hub of history, art, karate and food. Thanks to its many US military bases and post-war occupation by the US, Naha is a fusion of Japanese and American culture. In contrast, the more remote islands preserve traditional Ryukyuan life with festivals, architecture, traditional accommodation and religious sites. Depending where you travel, you can dive with manta rays off Iriomote or kayak along its jungle rivers, hike through Yakushima''s ancient forest, search for star sand on Taketomi, pay tribute to the fallen of World War II at museums and monuments on Okinawa-honto, cycle between Miyako''s award-winning beaches, take home a chunk of rope from the world''s largest tug-of-war (in Naha) or go whale watching off the Kerama Islands. Wherever you go, the islands'' amazing food - known for being the world''s healthiest cuisine - can be found throughout the archipelago.As well as dedicated chapters covering each island group, the book also provides a glimpse into the ''gateway cities'' of Tokyo and Kagoshima, with coverage that highlights little-known areas, activities, accommodation and restaurants. Throughout, extensive practical information includes transport, seasonality, itineraries, visas and budgeting. Whether you come for culture or cuisine, karate or nature, diving or trekking, let Bradt''s Okinawa and Japan''s Southwest Islands be your guide.

Western Australia - Scott Dareff - Bog - Bradt Travel Guides - Plusbog.dk

Bradt''s Western Australia is the first guidebook focused on the long country roads, inspirational national parks and world-class vineyards of Australia''s largest state. Local resident Scott Dareff has visited almost all the state''s 137 administrative areas in the past five years, giving him an extraordinary insight into, and knowledge of, one of the world''s great wildernesses. ''Travellers often associate Western Australia with Perth'' he says. ''But Perth is just the staging ground for travel to this spectacular state.

The Burrup Peninsula has rock art that is 50,000 years old, while Margaret River is one of the world''s finest wine regions and the nearby karri forests contain one of the tallest species of tree in the world.''Bradt''s Western Australia capitalises on the area''s geography to help travellers create the ultimate road trips in spectacular remote locations, without having to rough it or give up air conditioning, en-suite accommodation or restaurant meals. What''s more, this is the first major guidebook to stray from the coast to provide in-depth coverage of the West Australian interior. For travellers looking for a unique experience, and ''something different'', this book makes the Outback accessible and affordable, busting the myth once and for all that a trip to Western Australia requires a four- wheel- drive, a month off work, and deep pockets.

Bread and Henna - Maclagan Ianthe - Bog - Bradt Travel Guides - Plusbog.dk

Bread and Henna - Maclagan Ianthe - Bog - Bradt Travel Guides - Plusbog.dk

An engaging and authentic travel narrative, Bread and Henna relates social anthropologist Ianthe Maclagan''s experiences of eighteen months living among the women of a small mountain town in Yemen during the early 1980s. After a gruelling road journey, she is initially taken in by a family who provide support and hospitality - but charge extortionate rent. Maclagan then sets up on her own, struggling with isolation and practicalities such as getting water and cooking. One day, female neighbours establish contact by offering cuttings for her rooftop garden. Then, by throwing pebbles from their roof down Maclagan''s stairwell, they invite her to run errands for them.Gradually Maclagan is drawn into the life of the town and, in turn, takes it into herself. The women she gets to know have hard lives and limited choices, but prove friendly, warm, welcoming and curious. After initially attending community feasts as an honorary man, she later witnesses the hard work of women that lies behind spreads of delicious food offered to guests. As she learns the local Arabic dialect, she joins local women in long, enjoyable and sociable afternoons chewing qat. She is invited to attend weddings and other celebrations, joins visits to the sick and participates in mourning.As she integrates, Maclagan hears what the women say about their lives, about marriage, pregnancy and families - when asked how many children they have, women always include the ones who died - and about the struggle for girls'' education. Maclagan learns how women seem to have more freedoms after marriage than before, leaving their husbands in protest or to teach them a lesson. This extended encounter with women of a remote community furnishes detailed descriptions of a different approach to life and cuisine. Bread and Henna offers a window on a world that has gone - an intimate portrait of a country that is typically in the news for reasons of war and hunger. This memoir will enthral lovers of travel writing, people interested in the workings of different societies and the lives of women, and those who have travelled to Yemen - or have yearned to do so.

The World Heritage Site of Neolithic Orkney harbours many archaeological treasures, including Skara Brae, the most important Stone-Age village in northern Europe, and Maeshowe chambered tomb, whose entrance is aligned with the setting sun on the winter solstice. Here you''ll also find the Old Man of Hoy, a spectacular 140m-high sea stack; Scapa Flow, scene of the dramatic scuttling of the German fleet in 1919; and dramatic nature reserves with cliffs upon which one in six UK seabirds nests. The deeper you delve - made easy with Bradt''s Orkney - the more you uncover. Foodies will be delighted by an astonishing number of local food outlets and family producers, some going back more than 100 years. Discover Scotland''s first carbon-neutral island (or that''s the plan!), the island whose past may have included sky burials, and the world''s shortest scheduled commercial flight (just 60 seconds!). Or why not attend one of the world''s leading science festivals or Scotland''s sole wine festival?New for this edition are additional mapped walks; greater detail on history; expanded coverage of archaeological developments, the outer isles, new or enhanced visitor attractions including croft tours - all in the UK''s top destination for cruise ships and an increasingly popular location for family staycations.With much to enchant archaeology enthusiasts, walkers, cyclists, wildlife watchers, beach lovers and genealogists, Bradt''s Orkney is the ideal guide for those who travel with curious minds to discover far-flung places of great cultural, historical and wildlife interest.

Uganda - Philip Briggs - Bog - Bradt Travel Guides - Plusbog.dk

Uganda - Philip Briggs - Bog - Bradt Travel Guides - Plusbog.dk

Bradt''s Uganda has for many years been considered the go-to source of information for travellers interested in this extraordinary country, which boasts Africa''s most biodiverse - and arguably most exciting - safari circuit. Written by Philip Briggs, the world''s foremost guidebook writer on Africa, this new tenth edition of the most detailed travel guidebook available to Uganda has been thoroughly updated by local resident and experienced travel writer Andrew Roberts. Uganda excels for wildlife-watching, and recent transport improvements now make for relatively easy year-round access to key sites. Visit the lush montane forests of Bwindi, which protect one of the world''s largest remaining populations of mountain gorillas, watch habituated chimpanzees in Kibale and tree-climbing lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park, or enjoy outstanding birdwatching throughout - with more than a thousand bird species in a country similar in size to Great Britain. As well as treating readers to a dedicated wildlife chapter with over 100 colour wildlife photographs, Bradt''s Uganda guides visitors around key wildlife-watching experiences. It provides up-to-date coverage of gorilla-tracking options, describing gorilla groups and their locations - everything anyone who dreams of encountering these remarkable primates needs to know. Uganda is not just about wildlife. Hikers love some of Africa''s tallest mountains, notably the snow-capped Rwenzori (the ''Mountains of the Moon''), the massive collapsed caldera that tops Mount Elgon, and the forest-swathed volcanic peaks of the Virungas. A highlight for adrenaline junkies is rafting the ''Grade Five'' white-water rapids on the Nile shortly after it emerges from the inland sea that is Lake Victoria. In this tenth edition, carefully selected accommodation listings have been updated, providing critical appraisals of optimum options in each price bracket. While tourism has long focussed on western Uganda, this edition strengthens attention on the country''s remote northeast corner, which is emerging as a popular destination that includes the untrammelled savannah of Kidepo National Park and offers opportunities to interact with traditional Karamojong pastoralists. Boasting detailed maps of the country, updated or created from scratch using GPS, and all the travel advice a visitor might want, Bradt''s Uganda remains the essential companion guide to this compelling country.
