Book Review: Walking Home by Clare Balding

Based on the BBC Radio 4 programme “Rambles” which is hosted by Clare Balding herself – this book follows Clare as she goes on a journey around Britain and Ireland. It is a discovery of the Islands, but also a discovery of people who Clare meets on her journeys.

The people that Clare meets range from a botanist, barefooted rambles to whiskey drinking widowers. The book also includes sections on Clare walking with her family and her dog Archie and the adventures that they got up.

In writing this book Clare conquered 1,500 miles of footpaths from the Pennine Way to the South Coast path.

This book is a great read and all the stories bring a smile to your face as well as making you laugh out loud.
