Wild Riverbanks - Hardcover

by Atalina Wright (Author), Debbie Stokoe (Editor)

'When we set off with our backpacks hanging from our shoulders and our hiking boots unwashed from the last trail ... we never know how it will all pan out. But something deep inside calls us to adventure and to brave the unknown ... There is a bit of wilderness within all of us ...'

From hiking through the crisp mountain valleys of the Lake District to wild swimming in waterfalls beloved by poets of old to silent meditations at sunrise, discovering wildflowers, and enjoying waterside adventures, Wild Riverbanks is a collection of personal essays, memoirs, and poetry, inspired by the rivers that I have frequented throughout the years, from my childhood to the present day. This book is my gift to all those who carry a love of rivers, nature, and Mother Earth in their hearts and bones, and for those who love to dip their toes into fresh waters, and to feel the tall greying grass slip through their fingers, fresh air in their lungs, and the morning sun upon their skin ... May its humorous tales, stories, and gentle witnessings, nurture both the Soul and nature lover within.
