And Did Those Feet: Walking Through 2000 Years of British and Irish History by Charlie Connelly
4.0
I spent quite a bit of time screaming about OS maps when I first started reading this, luckily our intrepid author saw the light and was good enough to relate his conversion on the page.
I found the history I was familiar with a tad simplistic, but that was more than made up for by the interest and sheer humanising empathy given to historic events and modern journeys.
A treasure trove of anecdotes and windows of the soul to inspire a bit more study or a dusting off of walking boots.
Also a good lesson on the importance of decent maps and village pubs.
