Walking Through Spring by Graham Hoyland

Walking Through Spring by Graham Hoyland

‘The most effective advertisement for the countryside I've ever encountered’ Daily Mail Walking Through Spring follows Graham Hoyland’s journey as he traces a new national trail, walking north with Spring from the South Coast to the Borders. Hoyland connects a labyrinth of ancient footpaths, marking each mile by planting an acorn and drawing a path of oak trees that stretch through the English countryside. From dairy cows cantering and kicking their heels in lush meadows in the West Country, to galloping bands of lambs in the Peak District and secret green ways winding along canal tow-paths up the Derwent Valley, Hoyland draws inspiration from the vast literary landscape as he watches the season unfold across the country. Whether it is sailing a dinghy through the Lake District or taking in an otter’s point of view down the River Eden to the Scottish border, he finds himself engaging with some of England’s best nature writers, discovering the essence of the country and meeting England’s rural characters along the way.

‘This richly enjoyable book will entertain you on one page, enrage you on the next and make you get your walking boots on the thirdI think it's the most effective advertisement for the countryside I've ever encountered.’ Daily Mail

Praise for Graham Hoyland’s Last Hours on Everest:

‘A towering work full of twists and turns’ Independent

‘Great book, great vision’ Brian Blessed

Graham Hoyland’s Last Hours on Everest explored his discovery of George Mallory’s fate in a similarly discursive way. A former BBC Radio 4 producer of history and exploration programmes, he was the 15th Briton to climb Everest and also writes regularly for the Independent.
