It’s peak hour, the train carriage is packed to overflowing. You look out the window and dream of leaving it all behind … A slow ramble through the French countryside perhaps, or a tramp along New Zealand’s Milford Track or maybe the indulgent luxury of the Bay of Fires walk in Tasmania?

Slow Journeys makes that dream a reality by sharing how to discover the pleasures of exploring the world at a walking pace without having to give up the pleasures of a good night’s sleep and an evening glass of wine.

This is the book to help you plan and prepare to make those dreams a reality. While focusing on the more comfortable approach to walking (on-path rather than off-track, staying in simple accommodation rather than camping), Slow Journeys offers practical information on the logistics that face all walkers: planning the itinerary, choosing kit, preventing blisters, packing light. It is also generously rich in whimsical considerations and observations and is written in a warm, very personal and gently amusing style.

Gillian Souter is a life-long walker who turned her passion into a business. She lives on the south coast of NSW.
