Jean really enjoyed this. She doesn't know Gavin very well but the book
was so personal ("he puts a lot of himself on the page - unlike many
male writers") that she felt she had got to know him much better by the
end. Jean wanted Gavin to slow down the pace at which he got around the
country and although he described the places that he visited she wished
for more descriptions of the people that he met and stayed with.
Unfortunately, the author was not present to hear Jean's appraisal of
his work.

I read some of this some time ago. It's been edited and thereby improved. The author had said to her recently that a photograph had much more significance after it had been taken than at the time you take it. I think the same about this book. The events of 1996 (the year in which this book is set) appear more significant now.
This is Gavin's personal journey - Gavin on the page.

This is an unpublished account of Gavin's walk around England four years
ago. Doreen was struck by the regular appearance of Pauline (Gavin's wife and support team) - "just like the sun coming out". It was an interesting read just because of knowing Gavin and some of the places he and Doreen had visited.
