If you are serious about your landscape photography, you'll need to be equally serious about your walking to appreciate this book. Writer Andrew Bibby retraces his steps along the Pennine Way, which he first trod 40 years ago. He's walked the route of the Pennine watershed, which separates the water flowing westwards to the Irish Sea and the Atlantic from the water heading towards the North Sea. Andrew travels from Edale in Derbyshire as far as Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland. Close by his side is British photographer John Morrison, who has captured the beauty of the Pennines perfectly. Pack this tome in your rucksack, make sure you have enough food and memory cards for a few weeks, and then enjoy.
