One Man and His Bog (subtitled: The Reluctant Rambler’s Guide to Walking the Pennine Way) is a 1986 travelogue book written by Barry Pilton started life as a series of talks on BBC Radio 4. It gives a light-hearted account of his walking the full length of the Pennine Way in 21 days, from Edale in Derbyshire to Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish Borders.
An author’s note: “If this book should in some small way encourage people to take up walking themselves, then the author suggests they read the book again more carefully”.
It includes humorous tales of the people he met on the route, his overnight stops primarily at Youth Hostels, and the toll it took on his body. A glossary of “Difficult Technical Terms” is also included, for example “Compass – instrument for establishing you are lost”.
