Like all the best schemes, the two friends dreamed up the idea for their mission at the bar of the local pub, namely to hike 250 miles across Southern England to a small hamlet in Somerset merely because it had the same name as the village where they lived - a notion Dave Gorman would be proud of!
To 'keep it real' this was undertaken with little more than a tent, an axe and a sense of escapism. Savage wild beasts and some increasingly eccentric conversations would follow.
At times surreal, at times satirical, at times just funny, this new book by the author of England and Wales in a Flash is a Brysonesque light read and a great gift.
Uncovering points of interest along the Greensand Way, St Swithun's Way, Clarendon Way and Monarch's Way, the philosophies and even the dreams of these two young men blend seamlessly together in this uniquely English take on the rambling adventure travelogue.
