Walking Home - Simon Armitage

A poet's account of walking the length of the Pennine Way in England while surviving on people's generosity and hat collections at poetry readings.  Some interesting information about the trail, the walk and the weather but a lot of the book was about the author himself and also quirky English ways seen from the inside.  Not as interesting as some of the other walking accounts I have read, such as "The Old Ways: A Journey on Foot" by Macfarlane.
