To some extent this is a walker's book, as many of the routes are not so accessible to modern methods of transport. He includes grid references along the way and hand drawn maps of various sections of the routes. There are a lot of black and white photographs of the areas discussed and various other documents that are relevant to the subject. In places the text is dry but also, for me, there are hints of a wry humour and great titbits of local history. The edition I read was printed in the 2007 (the second edition) but this has little revision from the original 1980's text and there have been changes to the landscape, especially the much complained about Forestry Commission monoculture.
