Amazon Reader Review:
A more than excellent walking guide to the South Downs. Each walk I have
sampled has explored the Downs via wonderfully enjoyable and less well trodden
routes. Although I know the South Downs quite well, having walked over the area
for years, Martin Simons has taken me through woods I never knew where there and
around brows of hills into peaceful valley bottoms that I have never walked
through before. Taking different pathways, off the main drag, means that you
have to sure of your turnings and each of Martin Simmons markers have been spot
on so far. His useful illustrations assist routing confidence and his accuracy
so far prompts me to suggest that if you don't find the gate or the way marker
he mentions you've gone the wrong way.
Wonderful walks and a thoroughly recommended guide. As another reviewer states
as soon as you get back from one walk you are picking out another one to try.
