Synopses & Reviews
On a journey of discovery, Warren and Gerda Rovetch, both "creaky, " explore the hidden places of Great Britain's last wilderness. They bring fresh perspectives to environmental, cultural, and spiritual issues as they move at an easy pace from village pubs and croft houses to places of untouched natural beauty and solitude.
While this book will interest all readers, it offers something special to the traveler who is "mobile but not agile." With over 25 trips to Europe behind them, the Rovetches have mastered essential skills for successful and affordable independent travel. They detail web, print, and human resources; the "character study" method they have devised for choosing routes, stopping points, and places to stay; the art of dealing with airlines in age-related matters; and, above all, pacing that serves body and soul.
Synopsis
On a journey of discovery, Warren and Gerda Rovetch, both "creaky" themselves, explore the hidden places of Great Britain's last wilderness, the rugged and startling coast of Scotland's North West Highlands. They bring fresh perspectives to the environmental, cultural, and spiritual dimensions of their experience as their journey moves at an easy pace from village pubs and croft houses to places of untouched natural beauty and solitude. Celtic history and tradition comes alive as our hosts meander their way along. Part travelogue, part guidebook, but all charm and wit, this book transports us to another culture where we have much to learn.
