This guide book tells you everything you need to know about a trip to the planet's core, with the proposed journey to be made using an ingenious Beagle-Pod drilling vehicle. Starting with your choice of entry into the Earth whether that be at the tallest point, the deepest point, or even pole to pole you'll travel through geological wonders to reach the twin layers of the earth's core and finally the very centre of the Earth. Activities for your trip could include exploring a volcano, hunting for diamonds under the cratons, discovering what it's like at the hypocenter of an earthquake, and riding up a mantle plume on your return journey. Sections include; 'Things to do', 'Dangers and warnings', 'Tales from the time machine', 'In the deep', and 'The return journey'. A travellers guide for the most adventurous, would you dare take the trip?
