Publisher's Synopsis
Walking in the countryside is Britain's most popular recreation and rambling is the best way to get to know the quieter places of the British Isles. Rambling - The Beginner's Bible gives you a very readable and basic introduction to the whole subject, suggesting places to walk, what to wear and what gear to take, the law concerning public footpaths and bridleways, how to plan a hill walk and a walking tour. It tells you how to combine rambling with other outdoor interests, seeing places that the car driver can only imagine. It concludes with some inspiring accounts of actual rambles in the British Isles - most of them suitable for the new rambler. John Bainbridge, who was recently commended for promoting country walking by the Ramblers Association, is an experienced walked and outdoor journalist, who has over fifty years experience of exploring the British countryside on foot.
