Where the Wild Winds Are: Walking Europe's Winds from the Pennines to Provence by Nick Hunt
2.0
(Birthday present from last year)
Cool idea for a book but after 200 pages you do get a bit tired of hearing about the weather.
He tries his best to sprinkle in myths and historical facts, as well as encounters with locals, but it never goes very deep into any of those subjects. Nor is there much nuance to the discussion of for instance the repeatedly mentioned refugee conflict.
Basically, this should either have been half or double as long as it was.
