Читать книгу White Peak Walks: The Southern Dales - Mark Richards - Страница 7

PREFACE

There is a pleasure to be gained in walking pastures old as well as new, as I have found this last year while retracing past expeditions. At the same time I have discovered many new aspects and exquisitely beautiful faces of the White Peak landscape. For all the subtle changes one thing remains the same: the quality of the walking experience.

The two editions of this guide span both a generation and monumental changes in guidebook production and in the world of communication. Thus it is that I am able to offer a new kind of guide, one that can enable you to share with others your own best walk experiences through the author’s website www.markrichards.info. Go to Peak Park & Stride within Walk Free for a bigger picture of the author’s own wanderings, and Contact Me for entries to MagaScene, where readers’ images and reflections will be displayed. Through this website this guide can bring readers closer together and also provide information about route problems or changes, with a view to improving future editions.

Gone are the handscribed pages and the intimate, if indulgent, line drawings of the first edition. No longer is the guide set in stone: the 30 structured walks offered here provide new horizons of shared enjoyment to a constantly unfolding story.
