  Walking The Way in Wonder and...

  Sharon Wakeford

  Why not Annapurna or Machu Pichu? Why always the ‘same old’ Camino? A question carried with an almost sigh, a question often asked of Sharon. 
  Many learners seek a teacher to support and stretch them in their learning, and for Sharon, there is no fiercer or more forthright teacher than the Camino de Santiago. A teacher that calls its learners to walk lightly in their judgements, opinions, and assumptions, yet firmly in their flexibility, curiosity, and wonder, while stepping the practical path between Saint Jean Pied de Port and Santiago de Compostela. A teacher that calls some learners once, or maybe twice in their lifetime, while repeatedly sounding the call to others. 
  Journey with Sharon, on this, her ninth Camino, into her stories of struggle, sweetness, significance, and soul. Stories she tells through a series of imagined letters written to very real people whom she encountered along ‘The Way’. Stories as much about them and the path, as about her, and the journey into what it means to be human, in all its imperfection, improbability, mystery, and magic.

  This illustrated A to Z guide covers detours, destinations, and culinary delights for your next road trip through the American South.   Essential in any traveler’s glovebox, Road Sides explores the fundamentals of a well-fed road trip across the Southern United States. Entries feature detailed histories and more than one hundred original illustrations that document the many colorful sights and delicious flavors you can experience along the way.   Learn the backstory of food-shaped buildings, including the folks behind Hills of Snow, a giant snow cone stand in Smithfield, North Carolina, that resembles the icy treats it sells. Discover the roots of kitschy roadside attractions, and have lunch with the state-employed mermaids of Weeki Wachee Springs in Florida.  Road Sides is for everyone: the driver in search of supper or superlatives (the biggest, best, and even worst), the person who cannot resist a local plaque or snack, and the kid who just wants to gawk at a peach-shaped water tower.

  True Stories and Other Rarities:...

  When the lamp hit the wall we knew we needed a change. And change things we did. Very shortly afterwards we sold almost everything we owned, bought backpacks and boots and two one-way tickets to Bangkok Thailand. We didn't know when we were coming back or even where we would go but Bangkok was a start and we needed a new start. Living a quiet life in Denmark, we did what many people talked about doing. Our adventure was exciting and taught us that in order to know what you've got you sometimes have to give it up. One thing we were not willing to give up was our marriage and so off we went. Written during the trip True Stories and Other Rarities: Backpacking Through Asia takes the reader on our adventure like it really was, which was not always beautiful, not always fun, but always surprising and full characters. Traversing the streets of Bangkok on foot, meeting new friends in Vietnam, hiking Nepal, sleeping in caves, and trying to survive the streets of India. This is not your average adventure book, but our trip was not the average trip. We set off on one of our adventures with pie-in-sky ideas of how it was going to be. We were wrong. Note: a percentage of all proceeds from the sell of this book will go directly to Animal charities and sanctuaries.

  England & Wales Island Bagging by Lisa Drewe is a stunning and informative guide to the islands of England, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. It is ideal for swimmers, kayakers, adventure travellers, wildlife spotters and ice cream connoisseurs.
  Go on an inspirational and fascinating coastline journey – familiar islands are visited, such as Lundy and the Isle of Wight; others are less well known, such as Gewni in Pembrokeshire and Coquet Island in Northumberland. Almost 300 islands are included, from larger, populated islands to remote, uninhabited islets – some can be reached by foot at low tide, others have ferry services, and some you will need your own transport, or be content to view them from the mainland.
  Once you've found your island this book introduces you to the best sites on the island to appreciate: hidden beaches and coves, the tastiest local food and the wildlife that can be seen in the locality. Watch the Cemlyn Bay terns on Anglesey, go paddleboarding around Mersea Island in Essex, walk in the footsteps of pilgrims on Lindisfarne in Northumberland, or enjoy ice cream from one of the smallest dairy herds in the country on St Agnes in the Isles of Scilly … it's all there to be enjoyed in England & Wales Island Bagging.

  The journey starts when author and long-rider Jeremy James buys two horses from gypsies at a fair in southern Bulgaria. He and his long-suffering friend Chumpie then set off on horseback, winding northwards to Berlin, and on the way they encounter a marvellous array of local characters from all walks of life as they ride from Bulgaria to Berlin, via Romania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Poland.
  
     
  
  On a low budget, they are sustained by local fire-water, indigestible food and the forceful personalities of their horses who steal, run away, misbehave or suddenly comply at will and add a whole new dimension to the experience of travel.
  
  After five long months, they finally reach their destination. It has taken Jeremy through an Eastern Europe full of surprises, which, with the collapse of communism, has almost disappeared today.
