A guide to paddling in North West England. It covers some 110 rivers with 700km of river descriptions from the Scottish Border to Greater Manchester. It also covers just about every river or stream that can be paddled - from gentle family trips on scenic friendly rivers to extreme white water gorges.

This book brings together ten stories about fearsome dragons (and their bloody endings), some discussion about their possible origins and ten walk routes associated with them. The walks are very suitable for adventuresome and questioning children but you don't have to have children to enjoy the walks - simply be a child at heart.
