註釋From interrupting an amorous couple in the throes of passion to stumbling into one of the UK's top-secret sites, these 25 short stories chart Mark Richards' journey from "total walking sceptic" to author of 'Father, Son and the Pennine Way.' Written to give you 5 minutes' amusement in the middle of a stressful day, these stories will make you laugh out loud, despair at the author's incompetence - and inspire you to follow in his footsteps. In February 2016, desperate to do a physical challenge before my left knee decided the only thing it was good for was a waiting list, I asked my youngest son if he wanted to come for a walk with me. The result was 'Father, Son and the Pennine Way,' the story of 5 days and 90 miles on the UK's toughest national trail. "A great read. It made me laugh out loud - and inspired me to challenge myself." "I adored this book. It's incredibly well-written, refreshing, witty and heart-warming." "One of the funniest, most moving books I've read. Move over, Bill Bryson, you have a successor." Those are just some of the reviews for 'Father, Son and the Pennine Way.' 'Walking Shorts' contains the stories that explain how I came to invite Alex out for a walk - and what happened afterwards. It's my journey and - like 'Pennine Way' - it's the story of a father/son relationship. It's a book you can dip into when you need a laugh, a pick-me-up or some inspiration. It's a book you can read in bed, on your commute or even on the loo. It's a book that'll make you smile, nod in agreement - and think, "Well if he can do that..."
