E: 08/10 Ultimate Adventures: A Rough Guide to Adventure Travel

http://www.travelconnect.co.uk/healthadvice/win%20travel%20books%20-%20ultimate%20adventures%20rough%20guide


From mind-expanding treks to mind-blowing ice climbs, adventure travel is the edgy frontier for those who want to break out of their comfort zone and get out there.
Whether you are a committed adrenalin junkie or first-time thrill seeker, Ultimate Adventures: A Rough Guide to Adventure Travel by Greg Witt tells you where, when and how to plan the adventure that best matches your skills, strength, capability and dreams.
“These are uncommon adventures for the common man,” claims author Greg Witt. “The selected journeys are designed to become an adventurer’s ‘life list’ with all the essential information to make the trip possible.”
Ultimate Adventures circles the globe to track down the world’s best trekking, climbing, diving, cycling, skiing, caving, surfing, and paddling experiences.
Thousands of potential destinations were scrutinised, the ‘too tame’ and ‘unattainable’ meticulously weeded out. The result is over 150 adventures that are destined to become the most memorable expeditions of your life.
The book includes a hands-on assessment of each adventure that allows readers to imagine the experience in advance; rates each adventure by Physical, Psychological, Skill and Wow factors, making it easy to choose an adventure that matches ability and preference; and explains when it’s best to go, how to get there, how to prepare and anything else you really need to know.
You’ll also find quirky insights and advice – such as how to sleep on a portaledge or fend off a mountain lion.
Greg Witt, adventure traveller for over four decades, has guided mountaineering expeditions in the Alps and Andes and paddled wild rivers in the Americas. He has conducted teams of adventurers into golden slot canyons, trudged through deep jungles in Africa, Central America, and Asia, and guided archaeological expeditions across the parched Arabian Peninsula. His advice? Pack light and dream big.
