| The Big Walk David Wilson The remarkable account of a 73 year old man’s epic walk around England and the thoughts and memories that surface during the long hours of lone distant walking. From the remoteness of the Northern Pennines to the geological features of the Jurassic coast – from the grandeur of the Lake District to the panoramic views of the Southwest Coast path – or the dramatic coastline of Northumberland to the tranquillity of a canal tow path in Lancashire; the narrative leads you along delightful coastal paths and through charming villages…. But within the pages another story of a different time appears! Memories rekindled …the war years…a father killed…a mother’s grief…evacuation…an unusual and impoverished childhood. It’s a parallel journey recorded within the diary pages of a book that portrays an England largely untrodden by modern lives.  The author’s message:
“Thoughts have a powerful influence over the body; they are subtle forces that constantly shape our lives in accordance to the way we think. Think old and you’ll age faster than someone who possesses a young mind. Dwell constantly on personal ailments and sickness will surely find you. Convince yourself that you are healthy and a state of well-being will often preside over you.”
