| Having bought this book and seen my book promotion talk I was flattered to receive this email from one local person: "I’m already eagerly planning trips out for next year based on your fantastic recommendations. Your passion, enthusiasm and knowledge shines through in all of your work. You’re truly an inspiration, and we are so very lucky to have you taking the time that you do to research and create such informative local pieces, which not only help to inspire us to get out and explore our surroundings more, but which crucially inspire us to care about these precious places and the nature which we are so fortunate to have living alongside us." | ||
