Paul Evans, Guardian Country Diarist
A poetic book…beautiful [and] a thoroughly human story
Matt Haig, The Independent

Piers Moore Ede, TLS
An affirmation of life and the resilience of the human spirit, and it left me wanting to seek out the places he visits
Alison Ashmore, Shropshire Review Magazine
Beautiful, lyrical, beguiling and enchanting – a powerful testament to the healing powers of Nature
Daniel Start, author of Wild Swimming
