Off the Straight and Narrow: A Modern Roman Road Trip

Having reached retirement the author tried to fill his time chilling with family, working out in the gym and walking with the local Ramblers group. None of these could be accused of pushing him out of his comfort zone so he set himself a challenge: follow in the footsteps of the Ninth Legion during the Roman invasion of Britannia in the 1st century AD. The journey of 300 miles involved walking from Richborough on the Kent coast, via London and Colchester, to York. This book is a step by step description of that journey. It describes Roman, national and local history and personal memories that the walk invoked. David
