Until the land runs out
Miles Warde meets Lottie Davies to find out about the letters, diary and photos of a man called Quinn returning from war in 1945.
This is the story of a young man called William Henry Quinn who returned from war and walked from Cornwall to Scotland. He also went to Wales, the Cotswolds and the Yorkshire Dales. It's a tale for anyone who has ever tried to regather themselves with a little help from time and landscape, but the truth of his journey is not quite all it seems. There are letters, photos and various objects including a marlin knife, all of them belonging to Lottie Davies.
Miles Warde met Lottie Davies out on Dartmoor to find out who Quinn really was, and whether he walked until the land ran out.
With contributions from actor Sam Weir and narrated by Kate Chaney.
