Wandelgids Walking the Galloway Hills | Cicerone

Uitstekende wandelgids van galloway!

 

This guide covers 35 day walks and one long-distance route in the wild and remote hills of Galloway. Although there are some shorter and easier routes, many of these hill walks are long and on rugged terrain, so are more suitable for experienced walkers. The walks cover the evocative areas of The Merrick, The Awful Hand, The Rhinns of Kells, the Minnigaff hills and Cairnsmore of Fleet, among others.

 

The guide uses OS 1:50,000 maps with detailed route descriptions and inspirational photos accompanying each route. Key information such as distance, time, and ascent are given. A 'harshness' grade gives an indication of how rough the ground is expected to be, and suggestions of variants, shortcuts and ways to extend each walk are also given. Plenty of background information is given on the region's fascinating and important history.

 

If you like your wild landscape really wild… If you like your lakes to have whooper swans in the middle and no ice-cream vans around the edge… If you like to have one foot on bare rock and the other one deep in a peat bog… If you like your granite with goats on… Then Galloway is the place to go.

 

Steden en Dorpen

Newton Stewart; Glen Trool (Glentrool village and Loch Trool); Dalmellington (Ayrshire); Carsphairn and St John's Town of Dalry (Glenkens).

Wandelgids The Cambrian Way | Cicerone

Uitstekende wandelgids van de Cambrian Way, waarbij naast alle noodzakelijke informatie ook gebruik gemaakt wordt van de echte topografische kaart. 

Dubbed 'the mountain connoisseurs' walk', the Cambrian Way stretches 479km between the mighty castles of Cardiff in the south and Conwy on the north coast. Traversing the heartland of Wales, the challenging route crosses the Brecon Beacons, the Cambrian Mountains and Snowdonia, passing through two national parks and visiting many of the country's iconic summits, including Pen y Fan, Pumlumon, Cadair Idris and Snowdon itself. It can be walked in three weeks (or in shorter sections) and is suitable for experienced hillwalkers with sound navigational skills.

 

The guide presents the route in 21 stages, offering comprehensive route description illustrated with OS 1:50,000 mapping and elevation profiles. Details of accommodation and facilities are provided, along with a helpful trek planner showing their distribution along the route: although the trail passes through remote areas, it is possible to stay under a roof every night – though camping is also a possibility, should you prefer. There are background notes on Wales's history and geology and local points of interest, and a glossary of Welsh place-names, useful contacts and accommodation listings can be found in the appendices.

 

From the Black Mountains to the Rhinogs, Glyderau and Carneddau, the route takes in lofty ridges, striking peaks and picturesque lakes. There are also fascinating glimpses into the country's ancient and more recent past: Iron Age hillforts, Norman castles, a Cistercian abbey, the Chartist Cave and relics from the mining industry. Offering superlative scenery, the Cambrian Way is a celebration of some of the best mountain walking Wales has to offer and promises a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in these celebrated landscapes.

Reisgids Verdun en omgeving - eerste wereldoorlog | War travel

Verdun, een prachtige oude stad, gelegen aan de Maas en gebouwd rond de oude Citadel was tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog het toneel van een grote veldslag.

 

Van 21 februari 1916 tot 20 december 1916 woedde hier een van de bloedigste veldslagen uit de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Het Duitse leger lanceerde er een groot offensief genaamd ‘Gericht’. Het doel was het Franse leger ‘leeg te bloeden’ en hiermee te vernietigen.

 

Dit resulteerde in tot dusver ongekend geweld welke het landschap heeft gevormd en waarvan de sporen tot op vandaag duidelijk aanwezig zijn.

 

Bezoek de verwoeste dorpen, loopgraven, monumenten, forten en begraafplaatsen welke 

bewaard zijn gebleven. Deze reisgids heeft al deze bezienswaardigheden duidelijk in kaart 

gebracht, van de bunker van Kolonel Driant tot de Voie Sacrée, van de grootste Amerikaanse begraafplaats in Europa tot het indrukwekkende Ossuaire Douaumont. 

 

Naast de zeer gedetailleerde kaarten zijn ook GPS coördinaten en adressen opgenomen. De Google Maps extensies maken het navigeren nog gemakkelijker.
