DESCRIPTION
Chris Townsend's more than forty years of experience in the outdoors inspires and educates in this book; both a memoir of his exploits and a love letter to the UK's wilderness.
‘I was struck then by his thoughtfulness and clear-sightedness – as if all his opinions had been slowly, patiently reasoned out during endless hours of quiet contemplation while alone on the trail – and these same qualities are evident throughout this compendium of his best writing...’
Roger Cox, The Scotsman
‘Townsend has achieved his aim of inspiring others with this book and if you don’t feel like going on a walk – no matter how long or short – after reading it, you never will.’
The Scots Magazine
‘...what shines through this highly readable anthology is the author’s passionate plea for the protection of our wild country.’
Outdoor Focus
‘This is what Chris’ books do. They shake you out of lethargy and install in you that love of the natural world that keeps us all going.’
Andy Howell, Outdoors Blog
