We work with lots of local authors in order to offer a rich and varied programme of events. 
Here is a bit more information about some of those local authors.

Lunar Antics - John McCarthy

There is currently no other book which explores the benefits of nighttime adventures.
This book follows a group of local adventurers over their last eight years of nocturnal meanderings, heading out into The Lakes for inspiring adventures to Howl with the Full Moon every month.
What started out as an idea for uniting a group of old friends once a month for a suitably fun night out has grown and evolved into a larger Howling community exploring the National Park by moonlight.

White Water Lake District - Stuart Miller

​This is the second edition of the guide book 'White Water Lake District' which was first published in 2003 - the author Stuart Miller has completely revised and updated this new edition so that the information is as current and as accurate as possible. The new title better shows the wide coverage of the guide book. The first edition soon built a reputation as being the 'must-have guide to paddling in North West England'. Described as being 'comprehensive, well organised and very readable' it achieved five star status in book reviews. The book covers some 110 rivers with 700km of river descriptions from the Scottish Border to Greater Manchester. It covers just about every river or stream that can be paddled - from gentle family trips on scenic friendly rivers to extreme white water gorges - all in one of the most beautiful and popular tourist regions of Great Britain. A key feature of the book is the quality of the 150 detailed maps. The book also includes a full section of advice, summary tables, information sources, etc.
