Good morning and Happy Bank Holiday Monday to those of you in the UK,
This month we have three very different books for you. The Big Rounds is here with contributions from some of the biggest names - and smallest egos - in running at the moment. It's a great book just to sit and read but will offer invaluable advice to anyone planning on running or walking one of the Rounds. In contrast we have some walks in Italy's charming Cinque Terre and some small and remote Scottish islands.
The next video in our series is me and Andrea with our dogs Betsy and Ginny. As expected, the dogs get most of the screen time! Articles from the month cover a huge range too - Mount Fuji, taking kids hiking in Crete, a hidden gem, reflections on the Ratikon by Kev Reynolds and many more.
Best wishes,
Hannah

Nidderdale – not necessarily the first name you would think of when visiting the Yorkshire Dales, and yet it is no less worthy than its better-known neighbours of Wharfedale and Wensleydale. Hanging off the far south eastern end of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the river Nidd begins as Nidd Head Spring on the slopes of Great Whernside and flows east, and then south through Pateley Bridge and Knaresborough near Harrogate before joining the great River Ouse at Beningbrough.
