Stephen Pern drops the latch on his South Coast home and heads for the open hills, or rather for open hill shelters, the hundred or so bothies which are scattered across upland Britain. His mission is to supply each shelter with hanging points for wet clothes and gear, his supply of hooks and screws gradually diminishing over the course of his 3000 mile walk. Funny, perceptive and absolutely genuine, HOOKS might just persuade you that Britain is a great place to live.
