Join Jill Franks, long-distance hiker and English professor, as she describes her trek through the Lake District, Dales, and Yorkshire Moors along one of the world’s most beloved trails. Besides wind storms that blow your hair horizontal and beer that tastes like shoe polish, Jill encounters the cozier aspects of English life, such as really funny people, snug pubs (with snugs), and landscapes ranging from the bucolic to the sublime.

This is the fourth event in our Hit the Trail!: Adventures in Hiking series, made possible by the Friends of the Jones Libraries.
