Cheers for your comments Rob, We’ll check it out. As far as good reads are concerned on your level I’m a little stuck, but you might want to try the Book of the Bivvy by Jon Turnbull. It’s tangential at best, but for me bivvying is the closest thing on a “spiritual” level when getting outside. Best of luck with the dissertation!

This is a really interesting read, I’m currently studying the outdoors in the lake district uni. And I’ve been hitting similar topics in many of my essays. You should read the journal by Chris loynes witch is called “adventure in a bun” really interesting stuff. I’m thinking of writing a dissertation on the mix of religion, industry in terms of the outdoors, but am struggling to keep a singular topic. And good reads you could suggest?

I've always had transcendent faith in food as holy, in chefs and chocolatiers as divine. My own most enduring ritual of faith is devouring human creativity in any form it presents itself. I'm not such an omnivore as Anthony Bourdain and his extreme cuisine — his favorite eggs are the eggs of sea urchins, not exactly conducive to the traditional holiday rituals I know! — but I do enjoy a variety of foods and well-rendered cultural infusions and combinations, and as you'd expect now that you're getting to know me, I especially savor the stories BEHIND the food.
