Never Mind the Quantocks
Stuart MaconieCulled from Stuart Maconie’s monthly column in Country Walking, it’s full of the beautiful places, magical moments & wonderful characters he has encountered on his travels. It discusses such intrepid adventures as taking on the famous “Wainwright” fells of the Lake District, walking Hadrian’s Wall with colleague Mark Radcliffe, & why the most important things to carry in a rucksack are a transistor radio & a small bottle of red wine.
