.GPS the Easy Way (2nd Edition)

by: David Anthony Brawn

January 16, 2006
Having had a Garmin Etrex laying around in my sock draw for a year, and with a planned Scottish walking trip on the horizon, I thought it was time to learn how to use the GPS. The manual was hopeless but this book more than made up for that. Whilst I had to refer to the manual a number of times to find out how to do things on my particular GPS this book took me from sceptical to convinced in one evening. It is clearly if simplistically written, making it very easy to follow. Once I'd followed the book and connected my GPS to the PC (having bought a USB to serial convertor via Amazon) the GPS suddenly became a useful tool rather than an extra weight in the rucksack. All in all it's an excellent book to start making use of the GPS and I can highly ... Read More:

.Walk! Menorca

by: David Anthony Brawn, Rosamund Coreen Brawn

January 04, 2005
Three weeks in Sept/Oct gave us plenty of time to benefit from the routes in Walk Menorca. Everything worked just as described except the Forts Ancient & Modern where the military have evicted the hippies and re-occupied the Lluc al Lari fort; unfortunately.
We particularly like the routes linking the resorts and the North coast region. Such beautiful contryside but when the book says it is tough as on the route to Es Grau it really does mean it and without the book you would be unlikely to reach this delightful little settlement. We also bought the Tour & Trail Map which was equally brilliant.
Thinking a Menorca author would be more up to date we bought a local booklet - it was useless, not one route worked, some decidedly dangerous ... Read More:

.Walk! Mallorca West

by: Davis Charles, David Anthony Brawn, Rosamund Coreen Brawn

January 04, 2005
I had walked the Tramuntana with Charles Davis book Walk Mallorca North & Mountains, but this time we were based in the west so I picked up Walk Mallorca West. It was a real surprise to find so many 5 rated routes in what I though was a gentle region of the island. Even the family enjoyed some of the easier routes including two different routes to Sa Trappa. Great value, up to date, accurate and inspirational; gets my vote.

.Madeira Bus and Touring Map 2009

by: David Anthony Brawn

October 06, 2008
This is a useful map. Two sided, one side is a streetmap of Funchal, size 40cm x 60cm, with all districts and the major roads named. It marks all the town bus routes and their terminuses. There is also a table showing details of their routes, and notes about bus services, etiquette, frequency... It would not be a substitute for a tourists plan of the very centre of Funchal, (though you can pick these up free everywhere).
The other side is a map of the island, 50cm x 80cm, scale 1:60,000, 5cm=3km, showing roads, contours, tourist information, a place-name index, plus details of the across-island bus routes, with timetable information for some routes. It would be a good map for someone touring the island.. though David Brawn's Tour & Trail map ... Read More:

.Alpujarras "Tour and Trail" Map (Tour & Trail)

by: David Anthony Brawn

September 15, 2000
Beautifully presented and lovely quality.
If you know the area this map is brilliant but if you are new to the area this map is a little confusing.
It is a great 'walkers' map but not for the ordinary tourist hoping to explore.
