Grab your walking boots and best foot forward! September 11, 2001

I've been trying to think of someone this book wouldn't be suitable for, and after hours of deliberation, I can't, because whether you're a virgin walker, a keen Sunday strider, or a gung-ho devotee of long treks come (usually) rain or come (less usually) shine, this book will appeal to you. One of the best things about all of the Lonely Planet guidebooks is the captivating way in which they present the information. They inform, without talking down to you, and they also allow for differing interests, abilities and experiences in their readership. The information and facts are logically and geographically presented and try as I might, I couldn't come up with one single question that they had not answered in this book. What I especially love about this is that people who are visiting the UK but who hadn't been aware of these beautiful places might be inspired to visit - a great book for Countryside Evangelists! So what will you find out? Well, where to walk. Where to stay when you are embarking on a walk. Very importantly, where the pubs are if you want to break up your walk with a nice warm pint and a Ploughmans lunch. Strolling, ambling and pottering are dealt with alongside yomping, hiking and sports-walking, so everyone can enjoy the surroundings, new areas and facilities no matter what their fitness or physical ability. Now for the really judgemental nitty gritty stuff. This is the best walking book around at the moment, primarily because it does not require you to already own thick-soled walking boots, every ordnance survey map ever published, and a hiking stick complete with little metal badges boasting of all the difficult walks you have already done. It just requires your interest in exploring the country off-road, consideration for the surroundings and an appreciation of natural beauty. Grab your camera, stuff this book in your rucksack, and put your best foot forward.
