There is a science to giving directions. And few guides to country walkers
have the first clue. You know; you’ve gone astray, too. Path-tested in recent
weeks, The Time Out Book of Country Walks—one for every week of the year,
and all just a train ride from central London—is a magnificent exception.
It barely puts a foot wrong. I defy you to get lost. Edited by Nicholas Albery,
Penguin, £9.99, ISBN 0 14 026544 9.
