This is the Omnibus edition of Mark Wallington's two humour/travel classics featuring the much-loved Boogie. In "500 Mile Walkies", Mark and Boogie tackle Britains longest coastal footpath - from Somerset to Devon, from Cornwall to Dorset. ("The humorous travel book we've been waiting for" - "Daily Mail") In "Boogie Up The River", man and dog take to the water to trace the source of the Thames in a siff of the same vintage as "Three Men in a Boat". Boogie is flatulent, streetwise yet still lovable and Mark Wallington is the natural successor to Jerome K. Jerome.
