Walking the Woods and the Water

My good friend Gordon Wilson gifted me this very good book. His timing was impeccable as I had an enforced and long flight between Brisbane and the UK and this made the hours fly and the mind wander. My heartfelt thanks to Gordon.

Anyone who has read Patrick Leigh Fermors trilogy, see the link above, should enjoy this book on the condition they do not expect the author Nick Hunt to write as Fermor. Hunt has completed a journey and then written what can be described as a fan friendly homage to Fermors famous walk. I have enjoyed reading Hunts observation of the changed Europe. In one volume he has tried to keep to the original path and with that had to contend with modern obstacles such as motorways being in places they should not have been. The one thing I noticed was that there was still that element of human kindness towards the traveller. No matter where people are interested in people given the correct circumstances. And I wish it had been me that had made this homage. Nick Hunt has achieved what a few of us could only daydream about.
