This fascinating ramble through the history of walking delves into our relationship with the British countryside. ` Ramble On` tells the story of how country walks were transformed from a small & often illegal pastime to the most popular recreational activity in the country. From the brave band of hikers who scaled the off-limits peak Kinder Scout in 1932, via the intricate Lake District guides of Alfred Wainwright, to the resistant landowners (including the notorious Nicholas Van Hoogstraten, Madonna & Jeremy Clarkson) who have done their level best (and worst) to keep walkers off their land
- this is the definitive history of rambling. Perfectly capturing the sense of exhilaration on reaching the summit of a blustery hill-top path, ` Ramble On` is for anyone who has ever pulled on a pair of walking boots or is partial to the taste of Kendal mintcake.
