500 Mile Walkies. I cannot believe no-one else on LT has reviewed this very funny read. The author attempts to walk the whole of the Devon/Cornwall coast path, at the last moment agreeing to take a friend's dog with him. “Boogie” turns out to be a nightmare dog who almost turns the trip into a complete disaster. A good read. (
