![]() ![]() ![]() It took about 15 minutes.Īnd that’s the nature of travel – what was once an expedition is now a relatively safe afternoon stroll – as evidenced by the ridiculous queues to get up Everest (though plenty still die up there) and what I imagine are (or were?) streams of gap year backpackers falling over each other to get into a once remote location. Many years later I persuaded my daughter to take the same walk – which is lovely. Given it was the first time I had ever done it on my own it seemed like a lengthy expedition. This involved walking from Thornhill down to Low Mill along the river Ehen by the beck fields and past the shoe factory into Egremont. When I was about ten I went to see ‘Born Free’ with a friend. An influential if at times flawed travelogue from the late 1970s. ![]()
