A guide to treks and climbs in Wadi Rum, Jordan, one of the world's leading desert climbing and trekking areas. Wadi Rum is tucked away in the south of Jordan, close to the Red Sea port of Aqaba, remote and splendid in both landscape and culture, yet only a five-hour flight and a short onward journey from Europe. The first edition of this guide, published in 1987, contained about 140 routes. Since then the number of climbs has doubled. Here are detailed descriptions and topos of all the known routes to date, from short walks, camel treks and 4WD journeys through to sports climbs and major ?big walls' of the highest technical difficulty. Additionally the author, Tony Howard, provides information on sites of antiquity, flora and fauna, and life with the Bedouin. It is their roguish humour and warm hospitality as much as the magnificence of these deserts and mountains that make a visit to Rum a unique experience. This book tells you everything you need to know. Получить ссылку |
Ruubeni liblikad: Jordan
Автор: Kiiri Saar
Год издания:
Kui Jordan uhel sombusel sugishommikul sammud kooli poole seab, pole tal orna aimugi, et ta lihtne ja muretu elu on muutumas kaoseks. Koigi lemmikust saab korraga naerualune, kes satub jarjest veidramate sundmuste keerisesse. Jordanil tuleb segadusest hoolimata hakkama saada oma huperaktiivse oe Berniike, tema ule irvitavate soprade, teda seletamatul pohjusel haletseva ema Kirsipiia, muutliku meelega kallima ja painajalike nagemustega, mis jalitavad teda koikjal. Need viivad noormehe pikapeale moistmiseni, et temaga on midagi isearalikku lahti. Sundmused votavad uha kummalisemaid ja kohati lausa eluohtlikke poordeid, mille pohjustele jalile joudmine mojub lopuks kulma dusina. „Jordan“ on Kiiri Saare eelmise romaani „Ruubeni liblikad: Kirsipiia“ (2012) motteline jarg.
Tour Climbs: The complete guide to every mountain stage on the Tour de France
Автор: Chris Sidwells
Год издания:
The first book to cover in detail every major climb ever used in the Tour de France, including detail on the actual route (with maps and profile), length, height, list of winners and route descriptions of how to emulate the King of the Mountains and get from the bottom to the top.Every year the Tour de France is said to only really start when it reaches the first mountain stages: the drama of the race only really begins as the climbers take over in the Pyrenees, Vosges or Alps. The Tour is also the most famous classic in cycling and draws huge audiences to the TV and internet coverage (the official web site holds the world record for number of hits excluding search engines).But the route of the Tour is not just for professionals. A growing number of people now take their bikes and actually do a stage of the Tour (the Etap – for amateurs, which this year attracted 8,000 people to climb one of the hardest mountain stages in the Tour) or spend a week doing some of the more notorious climbs (Ventoux – where Tommy Simpson died in the 50s).This book is for everyone who watches the Tour and has even the slightest of an inkling that they'd like to do at least one of the climbs. Packed with information on each climb, this is the ultimate guide to the Tour climbs, which will remain important for many years to come (the Tour only uses a set number of climbs, which they return to every couple of years).Contents – Eastern Pyrenees, Central Pyrenees, Western Pyrenees, Vosges & Jura, Massif & Cevennes, Northern Alps, Central Alps and Southern Alps
