We're offering you 25% discount on all guidebooks on our website, from now until 12th October. Also, there are a number of especially discounted books at very low prices.

It's very early days yet, but we're delighted to tell you about
Cicerone-extra.com

Each month we will be adding six new articles and stories from authors, outdoor experts and some of our readers. There will also be some free routes for you to try. Over time, this will become much more than a news and views site – filled with longer articles, stories, video and audio, for you to comment on, and you can even submit stories and articles of your own to share on the site.

This month there are articles on Cycling in the French Alps, The Great Stones Way, The GR5 trek, running the UTMB (Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc), two routes in the Atlas mountains and the Countryside Code.

If you would like to get an e-mail reminder when new material is added, then just sign up on Cicerone-extra, or tick the 'Cicerone-extra e-mails' box in your Cicerone account (click 'update your details').

Cicerone has teamed up with Ellis Brigham to bring together a day of inspiring talks, advice sessions and workshops.

The Manchester store will host the event on Saturday 4 October, and features a great line-up of Cicerone authors.
