An elegant & evocative description of whether the wild exists anymore in the UK & if it does, what characterizes it. The author makes his way to some remote, & not so remote corners of the British Isles & Ireland, & records his feelings & experiences. It might not sound like much but it nicely captures & reinforces the virtues of being outside & of reconnecting with the outside world. It's something that is often preached about as being a good thing without it being obvious why: this book helps explain why. He interweaves all this with some history & some very personal memories which, for me, made it much more than just a description of the places he visited.4/5
