…in the context of an ever-warming world, if we continue to fly for our pleasure and education, we need to ensure that such tourism is not itself damaging, and that it genuinely benefits the host communities at the other end.”
Chris Brazier

“Anyone who claims there is nothing left to explore lacks imagination.”

When writing our guides – particularly when describing the Bedouin routes in Wadi Rum - we have always tried to give enough information to identify the routes whilst still leaving the reader room to exercise his or her own judgement when following them, since we feel that the joy of discovery is part of the essence of these routes, a philosophy which we are pleased to note is stated in the Biella Principles, mountainwilderness.org, in particular, para 2.5, “We must also question whether the proliferation of technical descriptions and guidebooks represents a potential threat to wilderness values, by considerably reducing the possibility of personal discovery and the incomparable satisfaction derived thereby.”

"Tony Howard's and Di Taylor's guidebooks for Jordan - both the general one for scrambling, canyoning, trekking and the climbing one for Rum - are excellent. Describing routes up, through, over and round the maze of domes and siqs that make the Jordanian mountains so attractive is no simple task - I've tried! Tony's climbing descriptions may look hard to follow, but once you use them on the hill, you'll realise that they are miniature masterpieces. Not only do they capture the poetry of the landscape and of the Bedouin climbing imagination, but they also tune your eye to make your own explorations."
