Barry Pilton's unheroic account of walking the Pennine Way: on the problems of footwear and bulls. Read by David Roper.
"My most vivid memories of those beautiful miles concern the planning of my campaign to halt the import of cheap East European boots - at least until they adopted the traditional West European concept of putting the nails outside the boot, rather than in."

Read by David Roper.
