I for one will never look at the British countryside in quite the same way again. (Stephen Moss Countryfile Magazine)
Gooley can show the most moonstruck how to interpret their surroundings. Even the intrepid Bear Grylls could learn a trick or two from this book. (The Times)
Anyone interested in walking out of doors at any time would be well advised to read this excellent book. (The Royal Institute of Navigation)
As with his earlier, equally important The Natural Navigator , this text is densely packed with information, engagingly and clearly written ...
