Book excerpt: A Journey Through South-East England:Broadstairs to Lewes follows Brian’s latest walking adventures through the South-East of England. Brian has previously walked over 1,000 miles for his last two walking companion guide books, Finding My Place and Walking My Patch. In this book, Brian shares the details of four complex walks: Broadstairs to Canterbury (a journey through East Kent), Canterbury to Bethersden (scaling the North Downs and across the Low Weald), Bethersden to Bexhill (straddling the County boundary) and Bexhill to Lewes (1066 Country, Beachy Head and The South Downs). Each walk contains a detailed guide and map of the route, and the walks celebrate the geography, geology and landscape of Southern England. More than just a walking guide, A Journey Through South-East England is essential reading for lovers of the great outdoors and protectors of the diminishing landscape. Brian also delights readers with poetry along the way as his poems cover many of his observations during his walks. Author Brian Rance lives in Kings Heath, Birmingham.
