I've just written and posted a free e-book. 'Microwalking' is a pamphlet about short walks. It includes descriptions of several examples taken from Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales. As it says in the pamphlet: 'A 'microwalk' ... contains, in microcosm, the kind of experience one can enjoy in a far longer walk. Scrambling up a stream-bed, enjoying a panoramic view, negotiating tricky terrain, encountering a waterfall or a hidden valley.'
To read it as a flip-book, just click on the link, and 'enlarge' as one would a YouTube video. It is, I think the easiest way to read it:
Alternatively, you can view it on Scribd in a more easily print-outable version:
Well done, Dominic! Very fine descriptions of your hikes. Nothing like the safe trail hikes I take here!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I don't think 'microwalks' have to be particularly hazardous! I can imagine quite easy ones - stream, trees, viewpoint, etc. The important part of the philosophy is packing a lot of rich, varied experience into a short distance. Someone even suggested I look into wheelchair microwalks only today.
DeleteWe have lots of nice paved hikes through the forest preserves in my area. Many are wheel chair accessible.
DeleteWe could do with a bit more of that round here! :)
