Imagine a summertime tour through the wildest and most beautiful regions of Britain – boating, camping and swimming along the way. Wild Swimming – inspired by Roger Deakin's cult classic Waterlog – is a celebration of wilderness dipping, natural bathing and riverside picnics.
Wild Swimming combines inspirational photos, engaging writing and practical information to make this a truly unique British travel guide.
Daniel Start spent his childhood river-swimming, dam-making and raft-building in Herefordshire. He trained as a natural scientist at Cambridge and at the age of 22 was taken hostage in the rainforests of new Guinea. His first book 'The Open Cage' described his time swimming and trekking with riverine tribes and freedom fighters there and won the 1997 Writer's Guild Award for Non-fiction. He has spent the last five years documenting, photographing and exploring the wilds and wild waters of Britain.
Come and hear all about his experiences and be inspired for your own adventures!
