Walk! Mallorca North and Mountains 3rd edition is now a 168 page full colour guidebook containing 46 fully detailed walking itinerarys, complete with gps waypoints and 1:40,000 colour map sections for every walking route, plus colourful background information; providing everything you need to explore the beautiful landscapes of the Tramuntana mountains and Northern Mallorca. Full colour map sections for each walking route are from the latest 5th edition of Mallorca North & Mountains Tour & Trail Map. All of this brought together in Charles Davis' inimitable inspirational writing style to produce another classic title in DWG's Walk! series of guidebooks. Walking routes range from strolls up to full 5 Walker ratings for fit, adventurous, mountain walkers. Charles has unearthed routes not found in other books, along with the classics of this beautiful region. To quote from Charles' Preface to his 3rd Edition:- 'My intention throughout this revision has been to produce enough new or substantially altered walks to make the 3rd edition a worthwhile purchase for people who have already visited the island several times, but would like to return for another dedicated walking holiday.
Apart from checking access to extant itineraries and revising certain routes and descriptions according to the suggestions of readers, eleven itineraries have been rewalked in order to incorporate new paths, variants proposed by readers, or to check that tricky trails had not been completely overgrown, and eight new walks have been incorporated.' Thank you to the thousands of walkers who have enjoyed the 2nd edition of Walk! Mallorca North & Montains, and especially to the many who have contributed ideas, advice and observations that Charles Davis has incorporated into his new 3rd edition; Mallorca's most popular walking guide book has just got even better.
