First of all I have to confess I’m not a walker, rambler or any other name used to describe the pastime of moving your feet. So, why am I reading this book? I was lucky enough to win a copy in a giveaway and despite my reluctance regarding exercise, I’ve found myself sucked into the wonderfulness described! This is a feast of poems, stories and personal essays based around walks in New Zealand. It’s beautifully presented, with quotes and pictures and it’s all separated out into helpful sections. I read it in bits and bobs, picking it up when I had a moment and I loved it. So, I say to all the contributors and readers who find this gem, ramble on my friends!
