Backpacker's Britain - Northern England
by: Graham Uney

This book is geared towards those with an interest in escaping the crowds and in re-discovering the hidden corners of northern England. Twenty five of the region's very best backpacking routes in remote hill and mountain landscapes are described here, and are ideally suited for a weekend away among the hills.

The guide covers the area north from the Humber and Mersey to the Scottish border, taking in the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District, Northumberland and North York Moors national parks. Each walk is clearly illustrated with map, route profile and photographs. Most routes take two days to complete, with an overnight stop in a bothy, youth hostel or campsite. The guide can also be used to devise more ambitious long day routes of 35km -50km. An introduction covers safety, navigation, equipment, food and other practicalities.

The walk locations are: Around the Harthope Burn from Wooler; Emblehope Moor and the Redesdale Forest; Wainhope and the Kielder Forest; Hadrian's Wall and the Wark Forest; Geltsdale and the Croglin Fells; Upper Weardale; Cross Fell and the source of the River Tees; Back o' Skiddaw from Threlkeld; Great Langdale horseshoe; Ennerdale horseshoe; Mardale; Martindale Deer Forest; Forest of Bowland; Bronte Moors; Rombalds Moor from Ilkley; Upper Wharfdale; Ridges of Dentdale; Mallerstang and Wild Boar Fell; Howgill Fells; Nine Standards Rigg and Stonedale; Arkengarthdale; Gritstone Edges of Colsterdale; Bilsdale circuit; Scarborough to Whitby coastal path; Yorkshire Wolds from Pocklington.
