I have been itching to make some videos about walking, photography and history as you might already know, I’ve talked about it before on my blog. There are a lot of intriguing footpaths around the area in which I live. Many of which I spot whilst driving somewhere and so I’ve decided to set out on a hike, find ways of connecting the old routes together.
The whole process of getting to know my local OS maps and tracing the history of the area; there are saxon and roman stories to find and trace.
Berkshire has some well signposted bridlepaths, green lanes and many others that I strongly suspect are riddled with folklore.
I spotted these books recently that I reckon might give me a little nudge along my way.
@steevc you will remember the author of the above book as he was one of the guests on Infinite Monkey Cage, the one you and I went to see being recorded - that was a great night, thoroughly enjoyed it. Should do another sometime.
Should easily plot some of these out on the map, I find the history and the connection between places, highly fascinating.
The allure of the coastal paths, never dwindles for me. Adventures aplenty, beckon like the smell of salty sea air.
Any similar books you are fond of?
