About the Author
With 5 highly acclaimed surf travel titles under her belt, Demi Taylor is one of Britain's most authoritative voices on surf travel and a regular contributor to national magazines and newspapers. The idea for Adventure Britain crystalized on a back to basics surf trip powered by public transport and pedals, camping out and foraging for the fruits of the land, a journey based on the philosophy of enjoying the natural environment without leaving a lasting impression on it. She has co-authored Footprint's Surfing Britain & Ireland and Surfing Europe and lives in Cornwall.

If you have tried other Footprint books such as Footprint South America, then you know how good they can be. Unfortunately, the same reader focus or attention to detail has not been paid to this book.
The book is not organised in any logical way. Yes it is split into broad regions but that's about it. There is no map, not regionally or nationally to show what activity is based where or routes. The activities too have been inserted in a haphazard way with no logical order. For example, there will be a couple of pages on surfing, followed by biking, followed by walking, then surfing again, then walking then biking etc etc. No comparison, no maps and no order.
I live in the UK and still find this book unhelpful. If you fancy a book to pick out the occasional activity you can do on the odd weekend, then this is not it. Sorry, but this seriously damages the Footprint brand.

i just bought this book, and i must say i'm a bit disappointed. it's not 'adventure britain', it's 'outdoors britain', with activities pretty much centered around walk-bike-swim-climb. also within the region chapters , only a few companies (more often one or two) are mentioned for each activities. it just doesn't reflect the diversity and extent of what's available out there.
Listmania!
