Stedman's trekking guide to Kilimanjaro really is a gem of a guide. It provides just about all the information you might need to help you conquer Africa's great white peak. A mine of practical information that will help take you from planning your trip to the summit and which you will probably find you take with you on your way up the mountain.Certainly when I turned Kilimanjaro into Kili half the party I was with had a copy of this book with them!

.Hadrian's Wall Path (British Walking Guides) (British Walking Guides)

by: Henry Stedman

May 15, 2008
This is really, as one of the other comments mentioned, the only book yu'll need on your walk from Walls end to Bowness. It's light to carry, easy to navigate in, and extremely detailed maps - hand drawn - you can almost recognize every sheep or cow from the maps :)

There is a new, updated version (2008) of this, but we used the last one (this one). Check out the new version, as there are some mistakes in this one, although they are few and mostly good ("be ware of bulls" -fields not containging bulls anymore).

.Dolomites Trekking - Av1 & Av2: Italy Trekking Guides (Trailblazer Trekking Guides)

by: Henry Stedman

November 28, 2005
We've been coming to the Dolomites (to visit relatives) for years and have always found this book by some distance the most useful, with contact information for all the refuges, as well as some precise trail descriptions and great maps. Although we've only used it for some of their short walks so far, we're hoping to start on the AV1 this summer and again, while planning, find this book just invaluable! Great stuff!!!

.Palestine with Jerusalem (The Bradt Travel Guide)

by: Henry Stedman

2000-04
This being a new book and therefore up to date and accurate with its guidance for the independent traveller, does not undermine its niche as a beautifully written account of the region. The author's warmth for this land and its people seeps into the reader and unlike other travel guides it is also grips the reader like a good novel. It is an essential item for a visitor and will be an enlightenment to those who not only want to see but also to understand the places they visit. When I left Palestine I gave my copy to a fellow traveller in Tel-Aviv - reluctantly( and I miss having the book), but I felt that I wanted to share the experiences to others of the kind people who are often mis-represented by the Western World

.Istanbul to Cairo Overland: Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Egypt (Trailblazer Overland Guides)

by: Henry Stedman

August 29, 1997
If all you wanted to get from your trip was a set series of 'experiences' crossed off your list, then this book would be ideal. It outlines the standard backpacker trail across the region and tells you what to do to be just like all the others - what hostels everyone else will be at, and what sights you have to see. It's most definitely aimed at the budget end of the market. The restaurant listings are mostly felafel stalls and the accomodation lists put the emphasis on saving every penny by sleeping somewhere unsafe with no bathroom. For a trip that most people would spend a couple of months on, this is a very thin book. Buy it only if you're rushing through the region as quickly as possible.
