coast path; discover the secret side of Snowdon with Rachel Crolla;

climb Kilimanjaro with Alex Stewart; and feel the sting of sub zero
temperatures climbing K2 - the Savage Mountain - with Alan Hinkes.
Also featured are ten tales of mishaps and misadventures that have
befallen Cicerone authors while out and about, researching for a
guidebook. Between stifling giggles and gasping out loud, gain greater
insight into the mighty task that is guidebook writing. And in 'The
Cicerone Story', learn about other aspects of guidebook creation, and
discover how things have changed over the last fifty years.
Accompanied by outstanding photography, each page of this finely crafted
anniversary book is a veritable visual delight. As enchanting as it is
inspiring, Fifty Years of Adventure is a must for anyone with an
appreciation for adventure.
