You don't need to be ultra-fit or highly experienced in the outdoors to enjoy outdoor guru Patrick Kinsella's selection of 30 activities across Britain. A sense of adventure and an explorer's heartbeat is all that's required, he says, and he should know, having spent two decades walking, running, riding, paddleboarding, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and more besides, in all corners of the country. Bradt's Caving, Canyoning, Coasteering is both an atlas of adventure and a book of secrets, enticing readers out of their comfort zone to explore the often unseen elements and quieter corners of Britain, where the wild experiences live. Some of the activities described take place on the very edges of large urban centres, easily accessible for anyone, yet even many locals don't know about them. Others happen in far-flung corners of the country - places people may never have considered exploring. This title will take you on a highly adventurous tour of Britain's extraordinary cliffs, caves, canyons, coasts, forests, fells, beaches, Munros, moors, and tors, via a range of outdoor pursuits - many of which were conceived and pioneered on this island, says Kinsella. It's all about wild time spent in wonderful places, from the mysterious depths of the labyrinthine limestone underworld beneath the Mendip Hills to the top of ice-clad arêtes and snow-dusted peaks of monstrous Munros in the Scottish Highlands, via seascapes and sub-aquatic environments in Devon and Cornwall, tumbling streams and ghylls in the Lake District, and cascade-concealed caverns in the waterfall-soaked world of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) in Wales. It's not for the faint of heart, but there are escapades here to excite everyone. Whether you're an experienced outdoor type or someone who's new to the outdoors but sees the appeal of getting out into nature, this book is for you. So pack your bags, lace up your boots, and get ready to explore the great outdoors like never before.
