Crossing Boundaries by Chris Bloor

Do you run or walk?
In the Bristol conurbation, whatever your choice, the countryside is always closer than you might think.

Chris Bloor’s quirky vision of the city uncovers a network of green routes connecting urban centres with the Community Forest Path that girdles the built up area. If you live in Bristol or one of the connected townships, one of his surreal sketch maps probably depicts a route that passes near your house. How you use that route will depend on whether you prefer a brisk run through the trees in the evening or a stroll from pub to pub along a riverbank.

The author gained his knowledge of these routes from twelve years experience of leading runners from Town and Country Harriers through the countryside from a different pub each Thursday evening. This book reveals their secrets in a form that makes them useable by runners and walkers alike.
