23 страница из 35

Walking the footpaths of Surrey and Kent does not lend itself to epic adventures, but each time I step along the North Downs Way I experience the wonders of a countryside that has been tended, cared for and fought over for thousands of years. That countryside reveals the remarkable nature of the ordinary common scenes and pleasures that all may witness (and have witnessed over the centuries) by remaining alert when wandering the footpaths. It is my sincere hope that all who follow this route will absorb as much as possible of the landscape and the creatures that inhabit it, and gain a similar bounty of happiness to that which I have experienced along the way.

But should you find the route has been altered in any significant way, and the descriptions in this guide no longer apply, I'd very much appreciate a note to this effect. As explained at the beginning of this guide, an email or letter sent in to Cicerone (info@cicerone.co.uk or 2 Police Square, Milnthorpe LA7 7PY) will be gratefully received, and details checked in advance of any new printing or revised edition of this book.
