Crime fiction set in WYOMING and MONTANA
GIVEAWAY – 3 copies of Walking With Glenn Berkenkamp
8th November 2020
We are delighted to be able to give away 3 copies of “Walking With Glenn Berkenkamp“. He suggests walks, trails and ways of engaging with the process – a perfect for our times under Covid restrictions! Glenn is a former fitness coach and a pioneer walker, so there are some top tips in the book and his inspiration is derived from walking in the USA.
In 35 guided mindfulness walks, Glenn Berkenkamp invites us to discover how we sense, move, think, and feel in our bodies–and engage a greater sense of presence and being in our lives.
Like any contemplative practice, through walking we can quiet our minds and come to know ourselves better, both within our bodies and the greater world outside ourselves. But with limitless competing demands on our time and energy, and hours spent in cars, walking has fallen by the wayside…and we miss many profound opportunities for increased awareness and vitality.
By reframing the joys and opportunities presented to us by the act of walking, Glenn shows us how to become reflective and inwardly directed, even as we take in the world around us. Tuning into our muscles, movement patterns, and the way we hold our bodies and even our thoughts, we’ll learn to develop greater bodily awareness for our walks and our walk through life, cultivating key mindfulness meditation skills. With the help of a Which Walks to Do When user guide that features walks for every occasion and emotion, Berkenkamp guides us on walks for expressing gratitude and affirmation; listening, grounding, and grieving walks; mindful dog walks; and more. He includes walks for any fitness level and walking ability, including children and those who need assistance walking. With practical check-ins, guidance on which walks to do when, pre-walk checklists, and invitations to reflect and respond, walking becomes an approachable and fun activity for all. As we walk with Glenn, we walk to settle, clarify, and balance our bodies, minds, and spirits–and become more receptive and open to new perspectives and possibilities we didn’t know were there.

We have trail that’s about a mile long, right next to a river but still in a wooded area here on the edge of our small town. About halfway through there’s a bend in the trail with two huge (for our area!) trees. It is such a peaceful place to walk.

Sounds quite idyllic!!
One of the many beautiful places in West Virginia I love to walk is Dolly Sods Wilderness.It is a land like no other.It is the second highest point in the wonderful state and has unique details shown in the growth of the trees as they only grow on one side because of the constant blowing of the wind from one direction.The view is panoramic and the mountains and valleys are too many to count.You will often be in awe of the setting and many time blessed with getting to see bear and cubs eating in the huckleberry fields or blueberry plains.Nightime is even more amazing.The bright stars of millions seem to be touchable,they appear so close and clear.Dolly Sods Wilderness Area in West Virginia a wonder of the world everyone should walk through.
There’s a nature reserve near my Grandads grave so I love walking through it knowing he’d be enjoying it as well if he was still here.
My favourite walk has to be The Wales Coast Path, you’ll need three weeks to comfortably walk the full length of just under 900 miles. I broke the walk into three separate events over the year, truly spectacular!

It would be awe-inspiring…
My favorite walk is through the steep hills of munnar Kerala, India where the sunlight filters through the rubber trees and lights up the thin manmade path in a pattern that changes daily! The path ends at a natural spring bubbling out a small cave where the water is crystal clear and fresh. I sit there in the quiet listening to the chirping birds, the rustling wind and the occasional sound of a jeep traveling uphill. The trudge back up is broken by resting on fallen branches across the path and sucking on sweet mangoes pulled from low-lying branches. Those walks are my me times when I am the happiest!

I enjoy walking up a pike near to where I live, it’s a steep walk but the views are beautiful from the top

I love walking around the lake behind my estate. It looks so pretty in all seasons and I love stopping to feed the ducks and the swans.

That sounds very restful, too!
My favourite walk is a walk through the woods/forest where my Nan lives. I used to walk through there every weekend with my Grandad when I was a child, rain or shine, whatever the weather. I miss being able to walk with my Grandad, we’d be picking up conkers and chestnuts around this time of year.

A walk along the Cotwolds canal paths on the Cotswold Canals Trust historical route – they have only just re-opened and have worked so hard to restore it – its a real trip through history!

Sounds fantastic!!!
My fave walk is in the meadows by my house. I grew up here and my grandma used to live by these meadows, so I spent my whole childhood here. It has an oak tree close by that’s over 500 years old. It has a preservation order on it.

I am transported already… how wonderful!
My favorite walk was in Cinque Terre. I was in Italy by myself for eight days and this was the last stop. I’d set off for one hike that morning and found out it was closed. I ended up going on a much more ambitious “walk” then experiencing climbing the side of a mountain covered with vineyards. I ordered a Coca-Cola in Italian and pleased myself. It’s still one of my favorite adventures of my whole life.

It sounds as though you coped REALLY well, well done! Certainly memorable!
I love to go on walks when we travel internationally. On a recent trip, we walked the northern coast in Brittany, enjoying the sea air and bracing winds.
My favourite walk was through the Amazon Forest – seeing all the tropical plants and listening to the birds and animals.
One of my favourite walks was in Wilpena Pound in the Flinders Ranges in outback South Australia. I also love walking in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales and closer to home along the Cooks River near my house in Sydney, Australia.

Ace to hear!
I used to walk around the perimeter of Richmond Park (about 7 miles) regularly a few years ago but got out of the habit and badly need to start up again. This would push me!
