Reviews

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
In terms of sheer did-you-knows per page it is one of the richest, densest, most rewarding books on nature I have read in a long time...its joy in deduction is infectiously delightful.
James McConnachie, Sunday Times
Learning so much in The Walker's Guide, the new book from Tristan Gooley, that I might have to take another long walk ...
Nicholas Crane
I for one will never look at the British countryside in quite the same way again.
Stephen Moss, Countryfile Magazine
As with his earlier, equally important The Natural Navigator , this text is densely packed with information, engagingly and clearly written ... Every outdoor-lover should have at least one Tristan Gooley book in their library. He's attained national treasure status, as useful and educative as he is endearingly unique.
Jim Perrin, The Great Outdoors magazine
It's like being given some sort of magical text... eye-opening and invaluable.
