In this short, pacy work of narrative non-fiction, David Clensy paints an evocative account of his walk along the Yorkshire Wolds Way in 2005. The author had "never walked further than his car door" when he decided to take on the 80 miles of the Yorkshire Wolds Way. Join him as he steps out on the trek from Hull to Filey. Whether you're planning to walk the Way or just fancy a chuckle at someone else's misfortunes, you are sure to be engrossed in this entertaining journey. The book also features "five East Yorkshire tales" - colourful accounts of Clensy's time working as a newspaper feature writer in the county. The tales cover everything from haunted houses to nuclear bunkers, from daily life at Spurn Head RNLI station to a first-hand account of training for the underground resistance "secret army" developed in case of invasion during the Second World War. "A great read" - Hull Daily Mail "It is David Clensy's colourful and pacy approach to telling these tales that lifts it well above the average walking book ... an entertaining, fast-paced volume. It is highly recommended." - Beverley Advertiser
