Waterlog: A Swimmers Journey Through Britain

"Roger Deakin is a latter-day Thoreau." --Robert Macfarlane, author of Underland

"A swimming journey would give me access to that part of our world which, like darkness, mist, woods or high mountains, still retains most mystery. It would afford me a different perspective on the rest of land-locked humanity." --Roger Deakin, from Waterlog

Considered a masterpiece of nature writing and the book that launched the international swimming movement, Roger Deakin's Waterlog is a fascinating and inspiring journey into the actuation world that surrounds us.
