Perfect for whether you are looking for a short walk or a longer trek, this book offers some of the best walks in the most beautiful landscapes. Cordee Books Norway - Northern Playground The Cordee - Norway the Northern Playground - outlines a story of the one of the first ascents of many of Norway's most dramatic peaks, Slingsby's book is still a very relevant guidebook to many Norwegian mountain areas today. Slingsby was one of the leading climbers of his generation, climbing in Britain and the Alps, and he is still held in the highest regard in Norway as the father of Norwegian mountaineering. In contrast to many areas of the Alps, the Norse mountains have been spared the same proliferation of telepheriques and ski resorts; and so many of the corries and peaks are still in the same wilderness condition as when Slingsby first climbed them. Norway: The Northern Playground has long been regarded by many as an indispensable work on the region. So, if you're looking for the English language overview of the Norwegian mountains or just an exciting ripping yarn to while away a long winter's night, this book cannot be recommended enough. The revised 2003 edition will have a new introduction written by Tony Howard, renowned for the first successful ascent of Troll Wall and latterly, the desert climbs of Wadi Rum. Cordee Books Trekking and Climbing in Northern Spain The Cordee - Trekking and Climbing in Northern Spain covers 16 treks and 12 climbing peaks, this guidebook is designed for both first-time trekkers and experienced climbers visiting the Pyrenees and Cordillera Cantabrica - northern Spain's trekking paradise. From the celebrated trails of the Pyrenees to the less visited, but no less spectacular, footpaths of the Picos de Europa in the Cordillera Cantabrica, the book offers clear descriptions of treks and of more aspirational peak climbs. Information on indigenous wildlife and the stunningly varied landscape - snowcapped peaks are never far from dense forests or sun-baked river gorges - is complemented by practical advice on travel, techniques and equipment. Strip maps pinpoint every route and give a reliable idea of distance and timings.
