| Content | Content In September 1938 war seemed imminent and AW used some of his holiday to escaped from the atmosphere of gloom and despondency by walking alone from Settle in Ribbledale to the Roman wall along the eastern flank of the Pennines, returning down the west side. His account of this walk was written later in 1938, but not published until 1986 and offers a unique insight into AW. |
