Secret Worlds of Colin Fletcher

In books such asThe Complete WalkerandThe Man Who Walked Through Time Colin Fletcher has established a reputation as a literate and witty apostle of roughing it. Secret Worlds of Colin Fletcher is a highly personal celebration of solitary backpacking (and day walking too) in the wild places of the world and of all the attendant pleasures: of finding a foothold in difficult terrain of catching a glimpse of an unsuspecting coyote of healing the wounds that civilization inevitably inflicts on human natureof simply mucking about. Overflowing with fresh descriptions of nature and with the wisdom of a curmudgeonly Thoreau this book is a must for backpackers and all unconstrained spirits.
