Walking on Tenerife - one of my next guidebooks - is close to being published.
That means it's time for yet another FREE DRAW for a copy!
So what's Tenerife like? Well... lots of resorts full of boozy Brits... granted... but also lots of amazingly rugged mountains, culminating in the mighty El Teide. This is the highest mountain on Spanish territory at a lofty 3718m (12,198ft), and I've given it a whole chapter in the book, with three different routes for the ascent, as well as a 'Three Peaks of Tenerife' challenge walk, if you're up for it. There are plenty of waymarked routes round the foot of the mountain, all within the national park, and often above the clouds. Below the national park is a belt of forestry, protected as the 'Corona Forestal', featuring a number of good trails. Long-distance walkers will be keen to discover the next stage of the island-hopping GR131, which I've already described across the islands of
La Palma,
La Gomera and El Hierro. There are areas of 'laurisilva' forest on the eastern and western ends of Tenerife, and some routes go all the way down to sea level. Anyway... there should be enough in the book to enable you to convert a bog-standard package holiday into a memorable adventure.
Check out the Cicerone website and click on all the links to learn more about the book. It currently shows as not available, but an advance copy is available for the draw. There is more information about the book on my website. Both sites contain a list of 50 routes around Tenerife, including the long-distance, island-hopping GR131.
Here's the deal... 'terms and conditions' if you like...
1. Entry is open to all OutdoorsMagic members, but ONE ENTRY PER PERSON.
2. Entry is available until 20th October, only through my website Enquiry Form.
3. You don't have to enter your 'real' name, your 'username' will do fine.
4. Give a valid email address, and I'll ask for your 'real' address only if you win.
5. Under the 'enquiry' field, just put 'Tenerife' so that all entries come together.
6. I hate spam, so I'm not going to spam you, and all emails will be deleted later.
7. The draw is entirely random, so everyone has the same chance to win.
8. The winner will be notified by email, and announced here on 21/10/11.
9. Yes, I'll sign the book, add an inscription if required, and post it to any UK address.
10. Overseas entries are welcome, but you'll have to contribute to the postage.
And that's enough 'terms and conditions', except for...
"I reserve the right to be wrong!"
This is intended as a 'fun' draw, so please don't take it too seriously. If it's 'fun' from my point of view, then I'll offer more books in due course as and when they're published.
Check out another FREE DRAW running parallel to this one... Walking in Sardinia.
GOOD LUCK!
