Chamonix Mont Blanc

by Martin Collins

Published February 1989

As well as being the home of mountaineering, Chamonix also boasts a vast walking and trekking potential. With lifts (strictly optional) to take out the first and hardest 1000metres, it is possible to walk at high level all day, amidst glorious views of Mont Blanc, the famous Chamonix Aiguilles, the Verte and many other superb peaks, as well as being amongst the more accessible, walker-friendly Aiguilles Rouges, high above the valley. The system of alpine huts provides refreshments during the day and if needed, accommodation at the end of the day. This updated guide explores the best walking in the valley, including around Vallorcine, Argentiere, Servoz and the Les Contamines valley as well as Chamonix itself. Complete and up to date details of the facilites, accommodation, and lifts are given, together with a full introduction for planning both trips and routes. There are 36 routes and many variants.

The Teesdale Way

by Martin Collins and Paddy Dillon

Published 30 June 1995

A guidebook to The Teesdale Way which follows the River Tees for exactly 100 miles from its source near Dufton to its outlet at Middlesbrough on the north-east coast. The Way is divided into eight stages of moderate walking and takes up to a fortnight to complete. The route leads through varied country wild moorland and deep dales, many with dramatic waterfalls, gentle pastures and industrial towns.

This guide also includes a selection of 10 circular day walks based on and around the route, with footpaths through fine countryside flanking the river on both sides.
