Walker's Friend: a Miscellany of Wit and Wisdom

?I have two doctors, my left leg and my right' ? G.M. Trevelyan As Henry Thoreau said, early morning walks is a blessing for the whole day ? a time to breather fresh air and feel the grass under your feet, replenish the spirits and calm the mind, and let the thoughts flow while enjoying nature's bounteous pleasures. Hikers, ramblers, dog walkers and casual strollers will savour this beautifully designed collection of quotations and excerpts from classic and contemporary writing, both humorous and evocative, interspersed with practical tips on everything from walking boots to where to spot wildlife. SELLING POINTS: Will appeal to The National Trust, garden centres, outdoor shops, as well as members of the Ramblers Association and subscribers to British walking magazines.
