Stamping Grounds follows the Liechtenstein national football team through their defeat-strewn qualifying campaign for the 2002 World Cup. It was hard to see this principality's part-time players scoring even one goal, never mind adding to its meager international points total. So what motivates a nation of 30,000 people and eleven villages to keep plugging away despite the inevitability of defeat? Travelling to all of Liechenstein's qualifying matches, Charlie Connelly examines what motivates a team to take the field dressed proudly in the shirts of Liechtenstein despite the knowledge that they are, with notably few exceptions, in for a good beating.

This guide is written in English and German to give an introduction to the mountains of Liechtenstein; a tiny and unique principality that should be on every serious walkers list of places to experience.

Enough routes are provided to fill a two week holiday thereby allowing the walker to explore every corner of the principality. The book provides route guides and hand drawn maps for use by walkers of all levels of experience enabling them to gain an insight into the varied and challenging mountains of the worlds' fourth smallest country. Ten routes are provided along with suggestions for joining them together to give longer tours or to shorten them if time or energy are limited. All routes are also suitable for fit and well controlled dogs. Liechtenstein is a tiny principality bordered by Switzerland and Austria.

The author hopes that this book will inspire readers to venture into the principality and to discover the impressive mountain scenery, the friendly locals and the fabulous refreshments available from the Alps. More than that, readers will discover unspoilt valleys, lonely mountain paths and exquisite alpine flowers accompanied only by the sound of the wind, tumbling streams and the squealing of the marmots.
