Whether you're Inter-railing to Istanbul, flying to Florence, cycling through Sicily, or backpacking in Bhutan, travelling lightweight makes sense. But while most travel guides give you all sorts of handy hints on how to make the most of a holiday, none look at travel in all its various guises from the point of view of a backpacker. When you carry everything yourself, you discover what's essential, and what can be left at home! So even on an overnight hotel stop, why carry more than you need?
Clive Tully's definitive The A to Z Guide for Lightweight Travellers is now available as a revised and expanded 2nd edition. It explains how you can travel light, and stay comfortable, whether you're journeying on foot, bicycle, bus, train, boat or plane. Unlike most "how to do it" books for travellers, The A to Z Guide for Lightweight Travellers deals with practical information for people going off the beaten track. But the advice also extends to tips on travel photography, camping equipment, dealing with the unexpected, handy first aid hints, and much more.
Well-known outdoors and travel writer Clive Tully has drawn on his wealth of experience to produce an informative and entertaining work of reference which every traveller - whether long-haul, short-haul or armchair-haul - will want to own.
Well OK, that was the publisher's blurb back in 1993. Sold very nicely thank you, but there are still a few copies left, waiting for someone to give them a good home. The original cover price was £5.95. Some of the information in the appendices is now a wee bit dated, hence the price of £1.50 plus £2.00 for post and packing, but the rest is still valid, interesting, and yes - entertaining.
While the books are new and previously unsold, there may be a slight amount of discolouration around the edges of the pages, but the pages themselves are as bright as the day they were printed.
And, to top it all, you'll get your copy signed by the author.
