   Nenhum(a) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.  PDCRead | Apr 6, 2020 |   This book is a collection of his columns published in 'Country Walking' magazine. If you're a keen walker, or even if you're not, these very short essays are easy to dip into. Not the least of the pleasures is the sparkling wit and his infectious enthusiasm conveyed in a very non-anorak way. (  ) stephengoldenberg | Apr 6, 2016 | sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
'Every one of us knows the moment when the simple act of putting one foot in front of another stops being a method of propulsion and becomes an adventure.' In this hilarious and heart-warming collection of essays, writer and broadcaster Stuart Maconie reflects on a life spent exploring the British countryside on foot. From the splendour of the Pennines and the Lake District to the drama of the Dorset coast; from the canals of the Midlands to wildest Scotland, this book is an attempt to explain a passion for walking and the delights it can bring. Never Mind the Quantocks features over 50 insightful, witty and entertaining articles, including festive walks, Lakeland favourites and pub treks. Culled from his monthly column in Country Walking magazine, this collection is full of the beautiful places, magical moments and wonderful characters that Stuart has encountered on his travels. It describes such intrepid adventures as taking on the famous 'Wainwright' Fells of the Lake District, walking Hadrian's Wall with colleague Mark Radcliffe, and why the most important things to carry in a rucksack are a transistor radio and a small bottle of wine.

It is written with his usual wit and humour, and will make you chuckle. He is very passionate about walking, and he wants everyone who reads these to understand and share that passion. The articles cover the right to roam, land art, maps and the pure joy of climbing a hill and soaking in the view.
The only thing I didn't like was the padding in the book. Every title page was a whole page, and as the essays were only around two and half pages long as well, it seemed excessive! (
