	Off the Map: Around the Dart Avon and Salcombe-Kingsbridge Estuaries An antidote to the traditional type of travel guide, Off the Map focuses on local events, people, wildlife, food and drink, snippets of history and routes to follow. It offers an insight into the real character of the South Hams and gives readers an understanding of the area which only those living and working in the district could have. Designed around footpaths, bus routes and water transport, Off the Map aims to encourage people to leave their cars behind, to enjoy experiencing the countryside at a slower pace. The book explores the Dart, Avon and Salcombe-Kingsbridge estuaries: places for picnics, kite-flying, bat-watching, plant buying, taking tea and eating oysters. It lists local fetes, shows and regattas, as well as child-friendly places and activities to enjoy. There are notes on wildlife, local history, architecture, shops, and places to eat and drink, as well as unconventional places to stay. This new edition contains new walks, cycle and boat trips. An indispensable resource for any visitor! Off the Map uncovers the places locals go, and the events in the community calendar, such as regattas, agricultural shows, Women's Institute markets and arts events. It is peppered with recipes, wildlife notes by Gordon Waterhouse, black and white photos by Kate Mount, and amazing facts about local people and places. This new edition gives the local 'low down' on fishing, sailing and surfing: how to get started, the best gear, and where to go. Other new territories to be trodden include a walk along the River Dart to Staverton, a more detailed look at the lower reaches of the Avon, and an Autumn forage for sloes at Little Dartmouth.
