An Aquatic Tour of Our Small Island.
In the last summer of the twentieth century a large man got into a small boat at Camden Lock in London and set out on an epic journey to discover England and himself. 'Paddling To Jerusalem' is David Aaronovitch's funny and moving story of where he went, who he met and what he thought. It is a tale of moderate danger, of slow adventure, of big exercise, wet water and bad food. Above all it is a story of what happens when a bad idea gets the better of you, and turns out to be a very good idea indeed.
