An enjoyable read
Could have gone into more detail especially with the Bed and breakfast. I did enjoy the book,it has given me a good idea of what walking the SWCP would be like. Not sure I could do it in one go though.

Good, no nonsense account.
A factual, informative, sometimes witty, sometimes wry, account of one man's SWCP journey. I enjoyed this book and am inspired to walk at least some of the best bits as indicated by the author.

An engaging and amusing account of a walk around the South West Coast Path. The descriptions were wonderful and the humour made the book easy to read, as well as giving a lot of useful information about walking the path. In fact, it made me wish I could set off straight away!

Excellent book! Plenty useful information. I plan to walk part of the path next summer.
