  The Guardian Travel Book of the Week. Long distance walks in manageable chunks in the Scottish, Welsh and English hills. Wilson, once fit enough for the Bob Graham Round, is now the victim of a crumbling hip. So, he breaks the walks into sections and takes to public transport. The walks include an Alternative Snowdon Horseshoe, a Scottish Coast to Coast and the Yorkshire Centurion, as well as several Peak District rounds and an Irish island. Recounted in Wilson's inimitable style, with the usual eccentric digressions.
