Description: |
It might be that you've been touched by cancer or simply love walking; maybe your interest in geography and ancient history had wetted your appetite, or it could be my recollections of the war and post-war years that's enticed you to read 'The Big Walk'. Whatever the reason, why not read it today, or buy it as a present for a loved one! |
Synopsis: |
The remarkable account of a 73-year-old man's epic walk around England and the thoughts that surface during those lonely hours of long-distance walking. Memories from another age are rekindled: The war years: a father killed: a mother's grief: evacuation : an unusual and impovished childhood. A parallel journey is interwoven within the diary pages of a book that portrays an England largely untrodden by modern lives. From the remoteness of the Northern Pennines to the unique geological features of the Jurassic Coast - from the grandeur of the Lake District to the panoramic views of the South West Coast Path - or from the dramatic coastline of Northumberland to the tranquillity of a canal tow path; it becomes fascinating terrain as David leads you along delightful coastal paths and charming villages, depicting daily events in his captivating, easy-going style. |
