Jem's bookstore now open

Posted on Wednesday, 14th April 2010 - 6:08pm in Articles by Lezli

Jem's bookstore is now 'open' in the members' lounge. We haven't figured out a way to serve coffee and pastries yet, but new books are being added regularly so it's worth a look if you're after longer walks.

The walking books we're putting in the bookshop are ones that we've used ourselves for weekend walkies with Jem.  The problem with finding longer dog walks is that very often there's a lot of road walking on the route. Even big, fast A roads - which isn't our idea of a walk!

So the books that make it onto the shelves are ones where over two-thirds of the walks have been OK for Jem to be off-lead, and any road walking is minimal. Mud, sheep and stiles may often be part of these routes though, and walking boots are essential kit!

Got a walk or dog-related book suggestion?  Just email Lezli with the title and anything you'd like to say about it ...

MOTORWAY WALKS - The Book

With nearly 200 walks from the Driving with Dogs website, this handy little book is an ideal guide to the best dog-friendly pubs and dog walks within 5 miles of UK motorway exits.

Like the website walks, you'll also find information about campervan access, disabled facilities, kids' activities, safe parking places, sat-nav codes and written route directions too.

Walking the Dog: Motorway Walks for dogs and drivers is available from the RAC shop (link URL http://www.racshop.co.uk/rac-books.html) and all the usual online bookstores such as amazon.

If your local bookstore doesn't have a copy in stock, you can order by quoting the ISBN number: 978-1-845841-02-7
