Sample Review [view all]

“An area as good as the North York Moors needs a comprehensive guidebook, and now it's got one, courtesy of Tony Harker, the man behind the excellent www.muddybums.org.uk website. This book is exactly what the doctor ordered; it's fresh and upbeat in style, with great photos that really show some of the trails in their best light. And it's full of well-researched routes that use pretty much all of the region's best trails to make up a varied menu of Classics, Epics, Enduros and Killers, or Easy, Moderate, Hard and Very Hard, to you and I. The descriptions are detailed and easy to follow, and the maps are overlayed on OS 1:50 000, so easy to follow and perfect for GPS users. We can't wait to get back up there and have a go at a few more.”
