Alastair Humphreys
After travelling the whole world, can exploring a single map ever be enough?
Adventurer Alastair Humphreys spends a year investigating the small map around his own home.
Can this unassuming landscape, marked by the glow of city lights and the hum of busy roads, satisfy his wanderlust? Could a single map provide a lifetime of exploration?
Humphreys discovers more about the natural world than in all his years in remote environments. And he wakes up to the terrible state of British nature, land use, and freedom to roam the countryside. This is an ode to slowing down and the meaningful experience of truly getting to know your neighborhood.
Local is a celebration of curiosity, time spent outdoors, and a rallying cry to protect the wild places on our doorstep. It is a reminder for all of us that nature and wildness are closer than we think.
Narrated by the author.

Wonderful story

I felt myself trapped between wanting to listen more and wanting to start my own local adventure. Too often, we want to travel the world in order to see new things and have new experiences. This book has shifted my perspective and made me realize that everything that I can get from far away travel can be obtained within a short bike ride and walk from my house, with the added benefit of doing my part to save the planet along the way.
Thank you, Alastair! Another brilliant book in your already incredible catalogue of adventure tails.
A "Walden" for our times

I listened to the audiobook and I couldn't wait to put on my headphones..So much knowledge, interesting info, links to so many unexpected areas..all this narrated in a light, humorous style. Outstanding! (I wish my English was better to understand all the species mentioned, but I will definitely take the paper version next with a dictionary and go through it again...and probably again...)
My favorite book of Alistair's! Easily...
