Inspire</i>. On the fringes of England's largest national park, now a World Heritage Site, an alternative vision emerges. In late 2017, a walk around the boundary of the Lake District uncovers a hidden landscape consumed by ghosts of nostalgia. Roughly 160 miles where it's never quite clear where the muddy paths and coastal ridges will lead. Stumbling upon industry as theme park on the border between urban and rural. A hallucinatory journey reimagining the in-between lands of cinematic markers, a sixteenth century noblewoman, artists such as Graham Sutherland and a constant stream of found debris. From a meeting with Silecroft's mafia at Valley End to the gates of Sellafield, the edge of darkness is revealed.</p><p>Welcome to a different <i>'place to be'</i>, where the pastoral and sublime rub shoulders with nuclear and second home syndrome - on the edges of Brexit...</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"David Banning's modern picaresque journey into the past, present and future of the Lakes strikes a robustly realist stance; he's a kind of post-punk-folk Romantic, peering backwards and forwards through a blackened Claude glass screen at a multilayered human and natural landscape. Mass trespassing on apocalyptic artists, pop culture and sly insurrection, the beauty of this book is that we never know where he is going to end up, and the getting there is all of the fun."</p><p>(PHILIP HOARE, AUTHOR OF RISINGTIDEFALLINGSTAR)</p><br>
