Bill Bryson wrote The Road To Little Dribbing: More Notes From A Small Island as a sequel to is first travel book about Britain called Notes On A Small Island. I had already read A Walk in the Woods (about walking the Appalachian trail) and Notes on a Sunburned Country (about travel is Australia). In this story he writes about traveling the longest line in Britain without crossing the sea. The places he visits are different than the places he visited in his first travel book about Britain. He ends up at Cape Wrath in Scotland at the finish. In the book he describes each town. He has a satirical style and sometimes he comes across as downright grumpy. I liked the first two book I read by him much more than this one.
