Brilliant. Loved it. Knowing the area brought back many childhood memories. Made me laugh too. Thanks Steve. Would certainly recommend a read. Good holiday book.

This is a well written, honest account. I liked the writing style and enjoyed reading about the walk and the historical facts. I liked the descriptions of the scenery and the way the writing brought the book to life. Steve you are an inspiration.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

As a fellow LFC, I felt connected to the author. I really enjoyed this book. It was a good blend of northern knowledge and humour. A great read and one I shall be recommending to friends and family. Well done Steve.

The author takes us on a journey from the Irish sea to the North sea on a 200-mile coast to coast walk. Starting in Liverpool and ending up in Hull, walking through fairly industrial areas.
He had some health issues and wanted to do the walk to get in better shape and to raise money for a health charity along his way.
The author gives a huge amount of information on the the areas he visits, such as the local attractions, museums, parks, restaurants and hotels, the charities, people who have made the places famous, for a few.
It was a bit different from other hiking books that I have read, I guess I am used to delving into the authors lives. This author does give us a bit of his life story, but the book mainly focuses on what these area have to offer and that of the areas importance. If you like a story full of facts and observations, this one is for you.
I would like to thank NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the ARC of this book.

A walk from Liverpool to Hull by the author, Steve Ankers is the premise of this book. I was particularly keen to read this as I live near Hull and thought it would be interesting. Steve walks the distance in stages as he live down south now, so does a stretch and then returns a week or so later when he's recharged his batteries. I quite liked the idea that it was done in stages. It seemed to be a real trip down memory lane for him during the walks between Liverpool and Manchester. I enjoyed reading about most of the places that were visited, however, I did feel there was a lot of unnecessary detail on where he stayed and what he had to eat. There also seemed to be far more detail about the Liverpool end of the journey, sometimes too much. On the whole an enjoyable, interesting and humorous book.
