…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.”

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."
Andrew Moore, Oxford
