The Old Roads of Britain.
Alan Kind: In 1997-9 I wrote, and Hodology Ltd published, a 90-page book on the old roads around ‘Alston Moor, Hartside & Geltsdale’. This was intended to be the first in a series, but no more followed, not least because this exercise taught me all about the economics and difficulties of self-publishing and — even more — self-selling. The chapters of this book are in the process of being reprinted here, and brought up-to-date where appropriate. I have some further chapters about other routes, and will add those in due course. Some of the photographs (which back in 1999 were BMP scans from pocket film camera originals) are a bit iffy, but it adds to the character ... The lovely sketches are by Dave Young from my photographs.
