Swimhiking in Britain and Europe (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781999887148)

Swimhiking in Britain and Europe describes routes from Scotland to Cyprus. The introduction explains how a swimhike combines swimming and hiking in one continuous journey, and gives instructions on how to make your own swimsac. Once equipped, the first half of the book covers routes across Britain, and the second half describes routes all over the continent. The chapters on each route include stories about the locations and characters who have lived there, from saints to cannibals, and describe some of the adventures that might befall the swimhiker, whether this is being ticked off, stung by jellyfish, or-more seriously-caught in a current. Swimhiking in Britain and Europe is illustrated throughout with colourful maps and pictures. Its author, Peter Hayes, is the creator of the Frog Graham Round.
