Product Description
The Pixz Boot Up Series is fast becoming a phenomenon
in local walks books that attract families and
others to exploring the countryside in a leisurely way.
It includes short walks for those living in or visiting
popular areas of the country, written by those who
know the area well. They provide a healthy hour or
two of exercise, exploring parts of Britain's countryside
that the casual visitor might otherwise miss,
pointing out interesting features along the way. These
are perfect walks for families.
Tony Rothe has already produced two books in
the Boot Up Series based on walks on the North
Norfolk Coast. In this book he wanders further afield
and provides ten exhilarating walks on the Norfolk
Broads. As the author says in his introduction: "Much
of the area's charm, stems from its isolation and
inaccessibility. Many of these walks take you along
riverbanks, giving you glimpses of open water of the
Broads where possible. The ten walks in this little
book explore the area around four Norfolk rivers, the
Yare, the Bure, the Ant and theThurne.The landscape
includes rivers, shallow lakes, woodland, fens, grazing
marshes and farmland, usually in a context of startling
beauty, and with an amazing variety of wildlife habitats
- walks to appeal to everyone."
