Book 0089

I like walking. Not “let’s yomp up and down the Three Peaks between dawn and dusk” type walking but something far more leisurely, with time to stop and look and enjoy where you are. Walking can be purely functional – in London it can often be the quickest way of getting from A to B. Or it can be a pilgrimage, a spiritual quest with a meaningful destination. Everyone can do it, at their own pace, finding their own rhythm. It’s the most democratic activity there is. Rebecca Solnit’s book celebrates all this and more. Stroll through it and enjoy the views.
