Encircling London like a noose, the M25 is a road to nowhere, but when Iain Sinclair sets out to walk this asphalt loop - keeping within the 'acoustic footprints' - he is determined to find out where the journey will lead him. Stumbling upon converted asylums, industrial and retail parks, ring-fenced government institutions and lost villages, Sinclair discovers a Britain of the fringes, a landscape consumed by developers. London Orbital charts this extraordinary trek and round trip of the soul, revealing the country as you've never seen it before.

Nicknamed 'Mountain Man' by the Sunday Telegraph, James Forrest is the record-breaking adventurer who climbed every mountain in England and Wales in just six months - the fastest ever time. Solo and unsupported, he walked over 1,000 miles and ascended five times the height of Everest during his 446-peak challenge. And he did it all on his days off from work, proving it is possible to integrate an epic adventure into your everyday life.

Fuelled by a degree of mid-life crisis and the need to escape, albeit temporarily, the dull routine of modern life, David and Rob set out to walk from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, taking in French villages, beautiful scenery, and one of the most spectacular mountain ranges in Europe. Just about perfect – if you can put aside the inevitable conflict, drama, and unexpected tedium that results from two men spending over seven solid weeks in each other’s company!

Like a well-crafted stage play, Just Passin' Thru delivers one suspenseful scene after another. But in this historic setting a store on the Appalachian Trail called Mountain Crossings the characters who show up are no fictional creations. Like any good drama, there are the good guys (and gals) and the weirdos, too. Some show up once (and that’s enough), and some appear again and again. But all are united by two things: the author’s story-capturing talent, and whatever it is that lures them to attempt (or conquer) a 2,200-mile path that climbs and plummets from Georgia to Maine.

El sendero de los Apalaches es una de las rutas a pie más largas del mundo, que serpentea por casi toda la Costa Este estadounidense. Sin apenas experiencia como excursionista, Bill Bryson decidió recorrer ese camino. Tenía muchas razones para emprender aquel reto: ponerse en forma, conocer mejor su país, adentrarse en un entorno natural único...

Mettre un pied devant l'autre est chose naturelle, acquise... et gratuite ! Mais, à l'heure de la (très) grande vitesse, on marche aussi pour "cheminer" : en soi pour se délester de "poids" qui encombrent ; vers l'autre et la nature pour ouvrir son cœur et son esprit ; sur un plan spirituel... ALORS EN ROUTE ! Parce qu'elle marche "corps et âme", Odile Chabrillac sait nous prendre par la main et nous montrer tout ce que cheminer peut changer en nous.
