Thanks, Tony - though I don't think you need any tips from me about hillwalking!

What a compelling introduction. I have ordered a copy and look forward to reading it. I love the cover they chose, and can’t wait to get into the hills.

That cover (along with Rhiane's foreword) is the ONLY photo out of 320 that I didn't take myself... Do wish the lassie had done up her rucksack

Love the idea that Samuel Taylor Coleridge initiated the tradition of hill walking for fun! 🌿

William and Dorothy Wordsworth also out on the Quantocks with him and independently. And there were earlier adventurers on the fells. But STC's attitude to it is so much my own and the amount of fun he had is so intense... Wonderful writing too, a little of which will be in tomorrow's post.

That's actually a reply to the subsequent comment from James Lee - sorry!
