Waterlog by Roger Deakin (Paperback)

This is a personal account by Roger Deakin who, in 1996, set out to swim through the British Isles. From the sea, from rock pools, from rivers and streams, tarns, lakes, lochs, ponds, lidos, swimming pools and spas, from fens, dykes, moats, aqueducts, waterfalls, flooded quarries, even canals, he shares a fascinating perspective on modern Britain. “Waterlog” is a bold assertion of the native swimmer’s right to roam, and an unforgettable celebration of the magic of water.
