The Border Country - A Walker’s Guide

The guidebook opens up to the walker the landscape of the Border country that lies between England and Scotland, including the Cheviots, Tweeddale and Teviotdale, Ettrick Forest and the Tweedsmuir Hills. Includes 46 varied routes, and outlines of a number of long-distance walks and town trails.

'This book has all the hallmarks of a Cicerone guide book. It is excellent value for money and will take the walker safely across the miles of Border lands it explores. Alan Hall is an experienced walker and writer who has produced a masterpiece which takes us through both landscape and time. This is the third edition of the guide and contains:

• Around 50 routes as well as outlines of a number of long distance trails that cross the region, several new walks, including an ascent of the charismatic coned summit of Rubers Law and a challenging route through lonely Craik Forest. All routes illustrated with OS mappings.
• Alan has written walking guides which include Scotland and Northumberland. An inquisitive pedestrian, full-time writer and photographer, he has walked in, in addition to Britain, Catalunya and the French Pyrenees, Italy and his favourite island of Crete.
• I ask myself how he has fitted it all in! The answer is bound to be … devotion and dedication. Another lovely walking guide.'
