After years spent in the heat of Africa as a doctor, Gavin Francis finds a growing need to get back to the extreme opposite – the cold, ice and snow. It takes him on the adventure of a lifetime to the arctic reaches of Europe. Following the tracks of ancient and modern explorers, he comes to a better understanding of what makes up the northern-most races of Europe and also of himself.

In White River Jamie Whittle embarks on a foot journey from the estuary to the source of the River Findhorn in Moray, returning by canoe. In doing this he has many encounters with local people and the history of the region, as well as reflecting on our present relationship with nature. White River is destined to become a classic of outdoor writing.
