Review of 'The old ways' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
The second Macfarlane book I have read, and not as good as [b:The Wild Places|2688775|The Wild Places|Robert Macfarlane|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1442535260s/2688775.jpg|1521802]. His writing is as descriptive and beautiful as ever but I have some issues. The biggest problem is that the book is subtitled "A Journey on Foot," and yet two whole chapters are travels at sea and another is experienced on cross-country skis. Also, the three "Roaming" chapters (covering walks in Palestine, Spain, and China) seemed out of place when the 13 other chapters take place around Great Britain. He should have left the non-walking and non-British chapters for future books. Despite these incongruities, it was worth a read and I can't wait to tackle [b:Landmarks|23597544|Landmarks|Robert Macfarlane|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1420273464s/23597544.jpg|43199773], which I can see on my shelf right now just waiting to be devoured.
