Walking the M62

During the months of September and October 2007 John Davies took a walk across the north of England following the route of the M62 motorway east to west from Hull to his home back in Liverpool. This is an edited version of the daily entries John posted on his walk website, with additional passages and a new 7-page introduction. Also including 12 b&w pictures from the walk, John's 'Twitter' archive and a useful reference list, this is an entertaining and thought-provoking record of a remarkable journey. "A world animated." - Phil Smith, Mis-Guides "Not so much an alternative manifesto but more a policy study on behalf of a neglected electorate .....This is England, this was England...." - Stewart Henderson, broadcaster / poet "Crammed full of stuff that has got me thinking." - Joe Moran, author, Queuing for Beginners "Walking the M62 will become another component of the cultural wampum bag I carry with me." - Roy Bayfield, Walking Home to 50
