    Good Evening Woo my friend.

    I think i've mentioned Donald Maxwell on a previous thread about your area, but i've just found this biographical link.

    http://www.valleyconservation.org.uk/donald_maxwell.htm

    If you can get hold of his book "Unknown Kent" i'm sure you'd love it.

    I did have nearly all the "Unknown Counties" series from the 1920s until my books went into storage.

    Mice love the animal glue that was used as a binder:cry3:I only have a few complete copies now.

    I bought the first one, Unknown Dorset, from a jumble sale for 1/-.

    Paid upto £30 each for the others:DOH:

    That will be a place of pilgrimage for me too Woo, if I ever get back that way.

    Have loved his books since I was little.

    I've stood on the same part of Red Hill, only 2 miles from where I live, as Donald did a sketch from in 1927. As part of "Unknown Somerset"

    Do you know Leon Roskilly ? He lives near you and fishes the Medway ?
