MANY walking guides feature walks of up to about 14 miles. Ten miles is not uncommon.

But probably most walkers aim to do less. This new Dalesman series sets a limit of six miles, with ten walks in each booklet.

No pictures, only a sketch map, directions, brief notes on points of interest, and a drawing or two of wildlife.

At £2.99 they have to be a bargain – though all walkers should carry, and use, the appropriate OS map.
