Keen (but not hardcore!) walker, Duncan Turner spends a great deal of
time (he is retired) in Windermere, and looked long and hard for a book
laying out a complete route around the lake. Having failed to find one
in the local shops, he decided to research and write one himself,
something which he has enjoyed doing immensely.
From the outset, he
decided that all the proceeds would go to New Holehird, the Leonard
Cheshire home for adults with physical disabilities, situated on the
shores of the lake. This is typical of Duncan, who works very hard to
raise money for a range of charities (including Children of Chenobyl,
which benefited from the sale of a previous book, and for whom he plays
host to two children in his home every summer).
Beautifully produced
with colour photographs, this handy, pocket-sized book is sure to be a
hit with the millions of visitors to the town and lake of Windermere.
