Josh is a 15 year old boy planning a school trip to Kenya. To help fund this, he goes on money raising walks, sharing half of his donations with Manchester Children’s Hospital.
Walking the Irwell documents his trip of over 70 miles from Bacup to Liverpool, sticking to the river as much as possible, and camping along the way.
With simple, humorous, direct story telling, Josh takes you on his journey as he stumbles through different landscapes of valleys and woodland, to the industrialisation of towns and cities.
If you like no-nonsense travel writing, this book is for you.
