‘What marks this guide out … is the author’s flights of evocative prose … and if they do not fire readers to get their walking boots on I don’t know what will. … When Reynolds’ personal voice comes through, particularly in the introduction and the Points of Interest sections, the book comes alive. … He is one of the best outdoor writers working today [and] I heartily recommend this book; it will be in my pocket next time I tread the Downs.’

(Martin Andrew, TGO)

‘Author Kev Reynolds’ enthusiasm for his trek across the rolling farmlands and Downs of Sussex and Hampshire is infectious enough to activate a couch potato.’
