The January Man: A Year of Walking Britain by Christopher Somerville

4.0

The writing style took me a while to get used to, but I ended up enjoying this moving rumination on walking the British landscape and father-son relations. I was not familiar with this prolific writer at all and will seek out more. Bonus is that his visits include places not on every walking writer's ambit.

I should say in case anyone is put off walking in Britain that he clearly liked walking in cold weather best. I walk a lot throughout the year and it's not always must, rain, driving winds and temperatures of 7 degrees.
