About the book

What began as a simple notion of going against the flow soon revealed itself as a journey rich with unexpected encounters, fresh perspectives, and profound insights about the British landscape. Walking "the wrong way" means seeing familiar routes through entirely new eyes—confronting challenging descents as ascents, meeting fellow walkers face-to-face rather than from behind, and discovering how dramatically our experience of place shifts when we reverse our direction. Donaldson's warm, reflective account celebrates the joys of contrarian thinking whilst exploring what it means to truly see the countryside anew, even on paths walked by thousands before.
