Island Walks Book One Lindisfarne to Iona

<p><strong><em>Island Walks</em></strong><em> - Book One, Lindisfarne to Iona</em> is the first in a series of books that takes the reader on the trail as the author shares his recollections of each solo journey in words and images. Generously illustrated, with over 400 of the author's own photographs the walk from <em>Lindisfarne to Iona</em> starts on the English north-east coastal Holy Island of Lindisfarne with the author's boots tasting the sea as it laps onto the famous causeway and ends 300 miles and 20 days later on the Scottish Inner Hebridean island of Iona where his boots get 'salted' once again in the Atlantic Ocean.</p><p>Paul Truswell's writing style is informal and relaxed with an occasional rant about subject matter close to his heart. The <em>Island Walks</em> series of books are not prescriptive guides to particular routes, but rather give the reader a sense of what long-distance walking with recurrent distant horizons is like and at the same time, increase the reader's awareness of the sheer size of our planet in the context of the author's modestly sized island home of Great Britain.</p><p>The appendices include valuable advice about gear, clothing, food and drink and an overview of the route, distances and timing which cross refers to the relevant section in the book.</p>
