One interest lies in biological research, and she worked first as a research assistant for others and then completed her own PhD thesis research on the effects of rock type on alpine plant distribution and physiology. However, much of the time, she hikes simply for leisure. Obsessively wanting to explore every bit of the Sierra, she has hiked thousands of on- and off-trail miles and climbed more than 600 peaks in the mountain range. Many of her wanderings are now directed to gather data for several Wilderness Press titles and to introduce her two young daughters to the wonders of the mountains. For them as well, the Sierra, and especially Yosemite, has become a favorite location. Although she will forever consider Bishop, California, home, Wenk is currently living in Sydney, Australia, with her husband, Douglas, and daughters, Eleanor and Sophia. There she is working as a research fellow at Macquarie University and enjoying Australia's exquisite eucalyptus forests, vegetated slot canyons, and wonderful birdlife--except during the Northern Hemisphere summer, which she continues to spend exploring the Sierra.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wilderness Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50330369065234,"sku":"9780899977386","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_2c37c0ad-b876-4747-8770-567d372fd991.jpg?v=1727799695"},{"product_id":"50-best-short-hikes-yosemite-national-park-and-vicinity-9780899979137","title":"50 Best Short Hikes: Yosemite National Park and Vicinity","description":"\u003ci\u003e50 Best Short Hikes: Yosemite National Park and Vicinity\u003c\/i\u003e leads hikers of all skill levels to some of the most stunning landscapes Yosemite has to offer including: bubbling alpine creeks, smooth glaciated slabs, giant sequoias, deep dark blue lakes, and rock as far as the eye can see.

Glen Dawson, who made the first ascent of Whitney's East Face in 1931 with Norman Clyde's party and at the age of 102 in 2014 is the last surviving member of that climb, describes the climb. Over the years, many have contributed to Climbing Mt. Whitney first published in 1960, by La Siesta Press publisher, Walt Wheelock: Tom Condon, Andy Zdon, Marty Lewis, Andy Selters, John Moynier, Dee Molenaar, Ruth Daly and coauthor, Wynne Benti.

This guidebook covers the last 159 kilometres (roughly 100 miles) to Santiago on the French route. Or in other words, it covers the section of the Camino in Galicia, starting on the border with Castile and ending in Santiago de Compostela. The guidebook is organised in eight chapters that correspond to the commonly suggested daily stages to be covered on foot. There is also a final chapter for the city of Santiago de Compostela, a general introductory chapter and an annex on general Spanish culture. Each chapter describes a departure town and a town of arrival, the distance to be covered on each stage and information about the villages, hamlets and other points of interest you will walk by. Each chapter also has a series of miscellaneous information snippets that can be historical, religious, artistic, or anything else related to Spanish and Galician culture and\/or customs. This is a guidebook that will help you understand and appreciate Spanish idiosyncrasy, usually the most intriguing, and at times frustrating, part of a trip for travellers.This is also a guidebook that provides insider insight and information about the Camino; information on where you are walking, why you are looking at things, what you are eating and how to make the most of your experience; all that stuff that is not readily available to travellers from abroad.

The Camino is a more than 1,200 year-old pilgrimage with its roots in early Christian fervor. Over the centuries, interest has grown in peacetime, then ebbed with plague, war, and economic conditions. Presently, the Camino de Santiago is enjoying a renaissance. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people make the journey, following paths and routes that date back hundreds of years. The author has walked six Caminos over several routes, to date, and has also worked each year since 2014, as a volunteer at the office that receives pilgrims at Santiago de Compostela in the Spanish province of Galicia in northwest Spain. This is where all the Camino routes terminate. The reason is simple. The remains of the Apostle Saint James the Greater are interred here. For pilgrims with religious intent, this is enough motivation for the journey. For others, it is the expanses of northern Spain that call out; the history, architecture, culture, and the wonderful people. The journey can take as little as a week, or several months. People from most every country, of all religions, or no religion, of all nationalities and political persuasions, races, colors, languages and cultures share in a common effort and goal, to arrive at Santiago de Compostela.The stories in this book are intended to entertain, inform and perhaps motivate. There are many, various books written about the Camino de Santiago. Finding Santiago is different, as it easily accompanies any other book you may have written about this subject.

His brother, Richard was born there and that's where he spent his formative years. The family moved back to Dudley in time for him to start school. At the age of 19, he met Lisa from Brighton, and a year later they were married. They now live in Worthing, on the south coast of England and have two boys, Michael and James. Simon is a family man who holds friendships and relationships close to his heart, and no matter what, family always comes first. He started work for Lloyds Bank in 1988 and now, over 30 years later is Head of Risk and Compliance for the same organisation. Simon decided to take some time out, to get off the hamster wheel. What started out as a short sabbatical, turned into an epic adventure. A 500 mile walk that would change his perspective on life forever. His original intention for this book was to create a keepsake for his family, a legacy if you like. As his adventures unravelled, he started documenting his memoirs, and the book wrote itself; an unintended consequence of his pilgrimage. Simon hopes that this book will spread some of the magic of the Camino to enable others to share in its charm; and for the less adventurous, to enjoy it from the comfort of an armchair. He has a passion for cycling, both riding and watching races, and loves going for weekend rides with his local club. He's also a keen supporter of Wolverhampton Wanderers football club. As you can see, his hobbies neither include walking, nor writing......
