Meet the Author: Simon Armitage
In this edition of Meet the Author, Nick Higham talks to Simon Armitage.
One of Britain's best-loved poets, Armitage walked the Pennine Way in the 'wrong' direction - from the Scottish Borders to the Peak District - earning food and accommodation by giving poetry readings.
His experiences are recorded in a new book, Walking Home.
