World Book Day – some of this years reads.
I love books. There is something so exciting about picking up a new book and not knowing where it will take you. I re-read my books a lot. Sure, most are about mountains and hills and places, but inside there are people ad animals and the landscape, which means I get to visit places again and again and see them anew. There is always something I have not seen before.
This years reads have so far been
An Infinity of Small Hours – Nancy Klein Maguire – about the austere Parkminster
Common Ground – Rob Cowen – everyday life transformed
Dark Peak Walks – Paul Besley – Walks in the Dark Peak Peak District
The Rucksack Club Journal 1959 – irreverent, informative, and thoroughly enjoyable
The High Places – A. Harry Griffin – no one better on the Lake District
Travels with a Flea – Jim Perrin – opens the door to new adventures
The Journal of the Fell and Rock Climbing Club 1959 – amazing tales from everyday people
A Land – Jacquetta Hawkes – Beautiful nature writing about Britain
The Hills of Wales – Jim Perrin – as always Jim has to be read again and again
