'Tis the gift giving season (and if you are a giver I hope someone is ensuring you are a receiver too)
Over on Bridge to 10K we've been sharing running books... and I reckon there are even more walking books out there... so, what books involving walking would you like to give or receive?
I'll start with books I've read this year which I think are worth reading...
Local, by Alastair Humphreys. Before marrying and having children, he was an adventurer in the epic sense. Now he has to be back for the school run and this book is about a project to explore every square on the OS Explorer map in his area.
Lots of us here have already read 52 Ways to Walk by Annabel Streets which has lots of information and ideas to experiment with.
Sarn Helen - a walk through Wales by Tom Bullough, beautifully illustrated by Jackie Morris
Polly Atkin's Some of Us Just Fall: On Nature and Not Getting Better
Raja Shehada's Palestinian Walks (2008) (Also Mark Thomas' Extreme Rambling)
Ethel: The Biography of Countryside Pioneer Ethel Haythornthwaite by Helen Mort (especially for those of us living in and around or visiting the Peak District)
And a book I am hoping to read soon is The Search by Paul Besley. He's written a lot of Peak District walking guides. This is an account of being rescued by Mountain Rescue, becoming a Mountain Rescuer himself and training a rescue dog and his current life where a life limiting industrial disease means that he needs to use oxygen on his walks.
Over to you...
