Beyond the Trees

I would add a caution up front that a 300 page book about canoeing for several months does get pretty samey. However it's not really much of a surprise. The author has some lovely descriptions of the landscape and the absolutely terrible time he puts himself through willingly to cross it.

He's clearly not one for the busy modern world, although I think he's hamming it up a bit for some humour in the dry bits. It works.
