Another Man's Journey Through Britain

In the spring of 1966, as he approached his fiftieth birthday, John Hillaby set out from Land's End with the intention of walking all the way to John o'Groats on public footpaths. This was in the age before the established Long Distance Footpaths that we take for granted today were commonplace. England's first Long Distance Footpath, The Pennine Way, had only been establish a year earlier. Consequently, the journey required serious map reading. His journey took him through the countryside, the wastes and the mountains. It was also punctuated by public houses.

This book follows John Hillaby's journey in detail, some fifty years later though another Britain.
