Hiking

Hiking by Karen Berger (Dorling Kindersley) is a highly visual, confidence-building introduction to walking and trekking—designed for people who want to get outdoors with the right skills, the right kit, and the right mindset. Rather than assuming you already know the basics, this book walks you through the whole experience: choosing a route, packing efficiently, reading terrain, and staying safe in changing conditions.

One of its strengths is clarity. DK’s signature format combines short explanations with photographs and step-by-step visuals, which makes it ideal for quick reference. Whether you’re heading out for a relaxed day hike or pushing into more remote trails, you’ll find guidance on pacing, navigation, trail etiquette, and risk awareness—plus tips on hiking techniques and selecting equipment that fits your plans.

Because hiking isn’t just “walking”, the book also helps you think like a prepared hiker: how to assess fitness, avoid common injuries, manage weather, and make smart decisions before a small problem becomes a big one. It’s especially helpful for beginners who want to feel more independent, but it also works as a refresher for occasional hikers who haven’t been on the trail in a while.

If you want a compact, practical guide that turns inspiration into real-world readiness, Hiking is a strong pick. Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, travellers who want to explore on foot, and anyone building a small library of reliable “how-to” reference books that can be used again and again.
