The Action Guide to Britain

(For beginner and seasoned expert alike, this guide provides information about the rapidly proliferating number of outdoor adventure sports in the UK. Covering approximately 40 different activities, it gives an alphabetical listing of the best places to practise them, region by region. There are more than 400 entries, each containing detailed, up-to-date information on tuition, level of experience needed, accommodation, access, prices, insurance, food and facilities for children. Each sport (and its various sub-disciplines) is explained in an introductory section, and there is advice on the appropriate kit and where best to buy it. Rupert Isaacson is the author of a number of the Cadogan Guides)
