Hello, my name is Paul. Thank you for taking time out to have a look at this story of a truck driver walking... I hope you enjoy. I aim to post once a fortnight.
A while ago I was sat in the truck looking through a diary of a walk that I had done a number of years back… a walk that took me through the four nations of Britain… from the top of mainland Scotland through Ireland and Wales and down to the south coast of England… a bag over my shoulder and empty pockets… no idea of where it is I would sleep each night or where my next meal would come from. Reading the diary took me down memory lane and also down memory woodland tracks and mountain passes… but above all memories of the people that I had met. I could not help thinking that there was a story here worth telling…
In the diary I did not just record the physical day-to-day aspects of the walk but also my thoughts… thoughts on the kind of questions I think we all ask ourselves at some point or other… you know the kind of stuff… Life… the Universe… and what's it all for… nothing too heavy. To leave these thoughts out of the story felt wrong… they were as much apart of this adventure as were my walking boots. My hope is the thoughts of a truck driver looking at the world from behind glass will add something to the story… I guess the reader will be the judge of that.
