Найти книгу: "Walking on Arran"

This guidebook describes 44 walks on the popular and accessible Isle of Arran. The routes are between 2 and 20 miles (3 – 32km) in length, ranging in difficulty from easy waymarked forest trails to more arduous mountain walks, exposed ridge routes and scrambles. The book includes both linear and circular walks, and there are opportunities to link routes together and create longer walks across the length and breadth of the island.
Highlights include Goatfell, the nearby Holy Isle, Beinn Nuis, Beinn Tarsuinn, the Sannox Horseshoe, Glen Rosa and the Cock of Arran. All the routes are clearly described with OS 1:50,000 mapping, with extra notes revealing the archaeology, history and natural wonders of the island. The book includes background information on travel to Arran, public transport, and a Gaelic/English glossary.
There's something here to suit walkers of all fitness levels and abilities. Often described as 'Scotland in miniature', Arran boasts a rich variety of landscapes, and walks have been chosen to showcase this variety. For an island, travel to Arran is remarkably easy: it is not far to Glasgow, from where onward connections to the Isle of Arran are swift and frequent.

Saksa okupatsioon, Vene okupatsioon, noukogude aeg, sojavaeteenistus vaga karmide tingimustega vangilaagris Uuralites, tagasipoordumine Hiiumaale – see raamat on lugu uhe tegusa, 3. juunil 1940.aastal Hiiumaal sundinud mehe elust.

Takis meenutab ka oma sagedasi Venemaa visiite – et saada kalurikolhoosile mingisugune hea masin, tuli omakorda Venemaale midagi viia ning alati ka otsustajaid „moosida“. Suurest jahi-ja kalakirest, suurest-suurest loomaarmastusest ning pisaratest, kui uks jahimees sea asemel tema laika maha lasi – esimesed laikad toi Eestisse just raamatu autor. Raamatu uks haaravamaid peatukke kirjeldab ka Eesti esimese jaatee ehitamist , mille uheks rajajaks Takis oli. Selle tegemisel tuli oppida omaenese teadmistest, sest kellegi kogemustest oppida polnud – uks suur veok vajuski labi vastrajatud jaatee, mida siis pea terve oopaev vintsidega 15 meetri sugavuselt jaale tagasi sikutati. Raamat jouab valja esimeste kooperatiivide tekkeaega, aega, kui hakkas paistma vabaduse kiir. Raamatusse tuleb ka nukraid noote, kui autor naeb made “arastamist” ning mure pere ja laste parast – sest arstid panid karmi diagnoosi....
