Vertebrate Publishing

Vertebrate Publishing A crack team of climbers, cyclists, walkers, designers & photographers At Vertebrate Publishing we publish books to inspire adventure.
(1)

It’s our rule that the only books we publish are those that we’d want to read or use ourselves. We endeavour to bring you beautiful books that stand the test of time and that you’ll be proud to have on your bookshelf for years to come. The Peak District was the inspiration behind our first books. Our offices are situated on its doorstep, minutes away from world-class climbing, biking and hillwalki

ng. We’re driven by our own passion for the outdoors, for exploration, and for the natural world; it’s this passion that we want to share with our readers. We aim to inspire everyone to get out there. We want to connect readers – young and old – with the outdoors and the positive impact it can have on well-being. We think it’s particularly important that young people get outside and explore the natural world, something we support through our publishing programme. As well as publishing award-winning new books, we’re working to make available many out-of-print classics in both print and digital formats. These are stories that we believe are unique and significant – we want to make sure that they continue to be shared and enjoyed for generations to come.

Finding balance beyond the mat 🧘🌞💧

That’s what I love about SUP yoga: it feels both playful and profound. One moment you’re wobbling, laughing at yourself; the next you’re completely still, breathing in the morning air, feeling as though the water has stilled you from the inside out.

Words taken from (Kathy Marston) new blog - you can find it on adventurebooks.com and discover why Sup Yoga, the physical and emotional benefits of trying it and how to get started .

Kathy has over ten years of yoga teaching experience, she specialises in SUP yoga, offering unique sessions on the water that bring balance, strength and connection to nature. Kathy is one of the brilliant contributors of new book Adventures on the Water sharing the joy SUP yoga has brought joy to her life.

We were delighted to have Jo in the office this afternoon signing copies which are shipping on Monday

Today marks fifty years since Doug Scott and Dougal Haston became the first Britons to stand on the summit of Everest.

In partnership with Berghaus and Community Action Nepal, we have published a fiftieth anniversary edition of Chris's iconic expedition book. Find out more about the book here https://amzn.to/3W79tYI

There was so much to learn. We had only made it halfway up the Face by mid-October, when the first of the bitter winter winds hit us like an express train and destroyed our camps.

In 2019, a beautiful soul came into my world, my four-legged friend Percy. I never expected to have such a special bond or look cool with a dog on my SUP, but Percy didn’t want to be left behind. So now I share my paddles with my favourite companion. I have watched Percy go from a nervous passenger, not moving an inch on the board, to being very
confident and walking around it. I do miss the timid Percy – paddling was much easier then!🐾

Words taken from Adventures on the Water - story Sup with a Pup 🐾

Adventures on the Water is compiled and edited by passionate paddleboarder and adventure advocate , it features personal stories and collected wisdom from a wide range of Jo’s fellow paddlers.
