BBC Radio 3 has collected a series of its program The Essay into the audio book Writers on Walks. 22 contributors, “an array of novelists, poets, journalists and biographers chart the varied and inspiring walks they have taken around Britain and elsewhere”, gathered into categories like Dawnwalks & Night Walks, Springwalks & Winterwalks, and Strange Strolls. Among the contributors is Robert Macfarlane, whose book The Old Ways is profiled on the Resources page; Macfarlane’s essay is an account of his five day walk along the length of the South Downs.
