About this deal

The humorous travel book we've been waiting for' DAILY MAIL) In BOOGIE UP THE RIVER, man and dog take to the water to trace the source of the Thames in a siff of the same vintage as Three Men in a Boat. Nevertheless, it is a very entertaining read, and probably the book I have read more often than any other. Read more about the condition Very Good: A book that has been read and does not look new, but is in excellent condition. Travels with Boogie is a witty and fascinating account of a mismatched couple and of the people they meet and places they visit. Mile Walkies, Mark Wallington, First published by Hutchinson 1986, my edition published by Arrow 1987.

By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. The path goes along Devon and Cornwall's rugged north coasts and their less rugged south coasts as well as Dorset’s chalk cliffs.This is a heroic study of survival against the odds, as together they take a journey, up hill and down dale, with rucksacks full of kennomeat, along Britain's longest coastal footpath - from Somerset to Devon, from Cornwall to Dorset. I’m currently doing a virtual walk along the South West Coast Path (I’ve just walked around the Lizard peninsular) and so have revisited The Salt Path, and read this as being topical to my virtual walk.

Boogie up the River' is about travelling the length of the Thames, from London up-river to its source. As 2023 comes to an end, Three Points of the Compass takes a glance at a handful of items of gear that accompanied me on trail. Years ago I would have awarded it 5 stars but it is now at times shockingly dated and Mark comes across as a very careless dog owner, as perhaps people were in 1986. This book was fab because of the humour and for Mark's honesty about the people he met along the way and the things he encountered.No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. Boogie - flatulent, streetwise yet still lovable; Mark Wallington -the natural successor to Jerome K Jerome.
