4. Of Boots and Bulls

"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."

Barry Pilton's unheroic account of his encounter with Britain's most arduous walk, the Pennine Way.
