Sea, Ice and Rock: Putting on the L-plates of Each Other’s Sport Above the Arctic Circle
After meeting on the TV programme “The Krypton Factor”, the authors of this book pooled their abilities on a light-hearted sail to Skye to climb the Cuillin Ridge. The Greenland expedition was something much more ambitious. First Robin had to nurse his famous wooden yacht through the enclosing icebergs of Watkins Fjord. Then Chris had to sort out a map discrepancy to identify the mountains they had come to climb. In the end it proved more demanding than expected and they had to turn back 200m below the true summit. But their narrative revels in the exciting climbing potential of the underexplored East Greenland and provides an account of how two very different men discovered a new dimension of adventure.Read more

438 Days: An Extraordinary True Story of Survival at Sea
The incredible true survival story of one man’s record-breaking fourteen months lost at sea.
On 17th November, 2012, Salvador Alvarenga left the coast of Mexico for a two-day fishing trip. A vicious storm killed his engine and the current dragged his boat out to sea. The storm picked up and carried him West, deeper into the heart of the Pacific Ocean. Alvarenga would not touch solid ground again for fourteen months. When he was washed ashore on January 30th, 2014, he had drifted over 9,000 miles.
Three dozen cruise ships and container vessels passed nearby. Not one stopped for the stranded fisherman. He considered suicide on multiple occasions – including offering himself up to a pack of circling sharks. But Alvarenga developed a method of survival that kept his body and mind intact long enough for the Pacific Ocean to spit him up onto a remote palm-studded island. Crawling ashore, he was saved by a local couple living in their own private castaway paradise.
Based on dozens of hours of interviews with Alvarenga and his colleagues, search and rescue officials, the medical team that saved his life and the remote islanders who nursed him back to normality, 438 Days by Jonathan Franklin is an epic tale of survival and one man’s incredible story of beating the ultimate odds.

Between the Chalk and the Sea: A journey on foot into the past
‘I loved this memoir’ – Raynor Winn, author of The Salt Path
‘A whole new way of looking at a familiar landscape’ – Neil Ansell, author of The Last Wilderness
‘Delightful’ – Country Life
An old map. A lost pilgrimage route. A journey in search of our walking heritage.
When Henry VIII banned pilgrimage in 1538, he ended not only a centuries-old tradition of walking as an act of faith, but a valuable chance to discover the joy of walking as an escape from the burdens of everyday life.
Much was lost when these journeys faded from our collective memory, but clues to our past remain. On an antique map in Oxford’s Bodleian Library, a faint red line threading through towns and villages between Southampton and Canterbury suggests a significant, though long-forgotten, road. Renamed the Old Way, medieval pilgrims are thought to have travelled this route to reach the celebrated shrine of Thomas Becket.
Described as England’s Camino, this long-distance footpath carves through one of the nation’s most iconic landscapes – one that links prehistoric earthworks, abandoned monasteries, Saxon churches, ruined castles and historic seaports.
Over four seasons, travel writer Gail Simmons walks the Old Way to rediscover what a long journey on foot offers us today. In the age of the car, what does it mean to embrace ‘slow travel’? Why does being a woman walking alone still feel like a radical act? In an age when walking connects the nation, can we now reclaim pilgrimage as a secular act?
Winding 240 miles between the chalk hills and shifting seascapes of the south coast, Gail ventures deep into our past, exploring this lost path and telling a story of kings and knights, peasants and pilgrims, of ancient folklore and modern politics. Blending history, anthropology, etymology and geology, Gail’s walk along the Old Way reveals the rich natural and cultural heritage found on our own doorstep.

Sea Spin Fishing: basics, techniques and strategies to improve
The novelty in this new edition
In the second edition of this guide, dedicated to sea lure fishing, new contents, changes and updates in almost all the chapters have been introduced, compared to the previous version.
Thanks to the advice and feedback received from our readers, a lot of information and technical details have been added in order to expand knowledge on the latest innovation introduced by companies operating in the sport fishing field.
Other issues, such as layout and graphics, have been improved, thus allowing an easier and more pleasant consultation.
Many aspects have been explored, in order to provide new ideas for improvement even to those who are already familiar with this technique, always avoiding to complicate life for those who are recently approaching sea spinning.Finally, the QR codes were inserted. They are image format codes which, when taken with a smartphone, lead to video tutorials on the planetspin youtube channel. You only need to download a free “QR code reader” app and scan the image with your smartphone.
In this manual, I collected a lot of pills and thrills. It is information arranged according to a very precise logic which is supposed to help having a clearer idea while approaching such a fascinating and, at times mysterious, fishing technique, but which attracts more and more fans.
Nowadays, compared to a few years ago, when I also moved up through the world of sea spinning, it is not difficult to find information about this. Especially thanks to the spread of this technique, in recent years, many articles have been devoted to the subject in some magazines, but we can also find many videos and articles on the internet. However, what mostly led me to the creation of this guide is the need to contain so much information into a single piece.What are the right moments? What kind of equipment is necessary? How to choose the equipment that best suits our needs. How are the lures supposed to be used? How should the bait be moved? How to adjust the reel friction. And again: I can’t make good catches, where am I wrong? How should I choose the colors of the baits? And, finally: how can I identify a good place?
To argue these and other questions, and not to create much confusion to those who are approaching this fishing technique, we will try to focus on some information, to simplify the growth path together. We shall learn to know and select the ideal silicone bait for the predators we want to undermine, the hooks and accessories, the triggers; we will talk about casting, retrieval and all the phases of our fishing action, until the setting of the hook and the long-awaited moments of catch. The right mix between theory and practice in fishing will help improve our technique and realize the so much sought catches.Read more

Moderate Becoming Good Later: Sea Kayaking the Shipping Forecast
An exhilarating and deeply moving story of one man’s attempt to sea kayak the areas of the Shipping Forecast, perfect for fans of The Salt Path and Attention All Shipping
Foreword by Charlie Connelly, author of Attention All Shipping
The Shipping Forecast has been described as the UK’s national lullaby: a source of dependability and calm in our often chaotic world, it has charmed millions of listeners and aided generations of seafarers across the decades. No stranger to weathering a storm after living with a rare life-limiting condition and facing the death of his brother, avid kayaker Toby Carr set out to explore the areas of the Forecast.
On a journey that took him to the harshest and most tranquil stretches of our sea, Toby found the real people, places and stories behind the familiar names and imagined environments of the well-loved BBC broadcast. From the wildness and peace of the sea, looking back at the land, Toby hoped to gain the strength and balance he knew nature could provide and to discover what anchors us to each other.
Written by Toby’s sister Katie from his extensive notes and recordings after his untimely death, Moderate Becoming Good Later is both an epic adventure – sometimes choppy, constantly moving – and a personal voyage of discovery that includes old friends and new, plenty of wildlife, and the ever-present sea.

Victorian Parlour Games: 50 Traditional Games for Today’s Parties
Have a seat in the parlor and spend a rollicking evening with this elegant box of 50 Victorian-era entertainments.Deal yourself in for a good time as you choose from a selection of games enjoyed in many a Victorian parlor. The box comes with rules to fifty games that can be played without any extra frippery, except perhaps a deck of cards if you fancy a game of Whist. Each game is good for two or more players, with most designed for a group to play together. Card games and guessing games, pantomime and word play—all provide an after-dinner evening of fun, or an afternoon of amusement on the couch or around a picnic table. These games are simple to learn, quick to play, and have silly penalties for when a player is “out.” One side of each card provides the category, the number of players, and the setup for the game while the other has the rules so you can keep them handy as you play.
- Test your memory with What’s in Grandmother’s Trunk?, where each player must remember all the other items that have already been named.
- Take on The Poet’s Chair by remembering more poems, songs, or rhymes than any other player
- Perhaps you wish to Pass the Slipper? Then close your eyes as players pass a small object and on the count of ten, guess who is holding it.
- Be careful not to break the rules, or you may have to shake hands blindfolded, pretend to be a parrot, or pay another silly forfeit to account for your blunder.
Austen aficionados and Bridgerton bingers will delight in these timeless, irreverent games—so pour your afternoon tea and get ready for an evening of nanty narking!

The Eight Hour Injury: How Your Sleep Is Killing Your Athletic Performance
The 8-Hour Injury is a book that explores the link between poor sleep habits and athletic performance. The book discusses how poor sleep can lead to a number of problems for athletes, including:
- Increased risk of injury: When athletes are sleep-deprived, they are more likely to make mistakes and get injured.

- Impaired decision-making: Sleep deprivation can impair cognitive function, which can make it difficult for athletes to make quick decisions on the field or court.
- Increased stress levels: Sleep deprivation can increase stress levels, which can lead to anxiety and depression. These conditions can also negatively impact athletic performance.
The book provides a number of tips for athletes on how to improve their sleep habits
