The guide describes 270 more islands than the previous edition, has a wealth of new photos, a new design and improved presentation of the tidal information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDave Walsh describes over 570 islands. The essential information for kayakers or anyone in a small boat is here: landings, camping, drinking water and tidal information. Any wildlife to be found is detailed and on the islands that are or have been inhabited there is a wealth of information on their history and archaeology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stories are fascinating and often told with a wry humour which makes them very readable. The book is illustrated throughout with colour photographs and maps. The writing and photographs capture the very essence of the wild places described.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Walsh is a Dublin solicitor and Notary Public, living and working in Ranelagh with his wife Sheila. On a sailing\/climbing trip to Spitsbergen in 1990 he saw sea kayaks glide between icebergs in a remote frozen Magdalena Fjord. He was blown away, and the next part of his life began immediately. He bought a sea kayak within weeks of getting home, and kayaking has consumed his life ever since. Islands became David's focus. He was a founder member of Irish Sea Kayaking Association and held the position of Chairman from 1995 to 2003, relinquishing the post only to see to the publication of the initial Oileain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Pesda Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublication date: Mar, 2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN13: 9781906095376\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePage size: 170 x 240mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNr Pages: 292\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 800g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43432027619418,"sku":"S3314064","price":8.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/9874\/6202\/files\/c19400010000.jpg?v=1780048767","url":"https:\/\/mapsworldwide-us.com\/products\/pesda-press-oileain-the-irish-islands-guide","provider":"Maps Worldwide","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
