I quite like these kinds of books and have read several over the years, I can't remember all their details but some of the ones I most liked were:
- a journey across middle England on a milk float (Three Men in a Float)
- Harry Enfield's father's cycle ride across France -
- Journeys by canals - Narrow Dog To Carcassonne and Narrow dog to Indian River (we met the author and his wife at a folk/canal festival some years ago and they were lovely. The dog stayed home because it was raining and he did not like to get wet)
- Nicolas Crane did a great book when he walked down the longitude line of 2 degrees west down the UK
- Attention All Shipping: A Journey Round the Shipping Forecast areas
- a journey down the River Trent by boat - Tom Fort - which has been made into a BBC4 programme (still on iplayer)
- THE ICKNIELD WAY:a hike across southern England following one of the old track ways and ending in east anglia. Robert Macfarlane
Do any of you bloggers have any recommendations?
