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!!!

4.Hadrian's Wall Path: Wallsend to Bowness-on Stow (British Walking Guide) by: Henry Stedman

Books : Hadrian's Wall Path: Wallsend to Bowness-on Stow (British Walking Guide)
I would recommend taking with you this book, which has detailed descriptions, and gives the name and phone number of every place to eat, drink and stay along the way, and also the official National Trail guide (by Burton), which is particularly good for its OS maps. A perfect book would combine these features.

On the walk itself, the first day (through central Newcastle), and the last two days (through Carlisle and to the sea) - were not the best bits: no visible Wall at all, and only the occasional sign of its accompanying earthworks.

If you plan to do it, but don't want to do the whole lot, you'll probably want to do the best bit, and this, without any doubt, is the central section: lots of visible Wall and lots of scenic ... Read More:

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