An evening with Jenn Ashworth - The Parallel Path. 7PM 24JUL25 Wave of Nostalgia or Zoom

"A life exquisitely examined over a long walk across the north of England, from one of our finest human nature writers"

Armed with little more than a set of maps, she embarked on the most epic of English walks: Wainwright's Coast to Coast. Guided not just by Wainwright's writing but also by daily letters from her friend Clive - facing an epic journey of his own - Jenn's pilgrimage soon becomes more than just walking: a chance to reconnect and excavate, to re-engage with the act of caring for others and for oneself. But the walk's tricky terrain is not the only thing standing in Jenn's way.

As days go by, her balance begins to fail her and the act of putting one foot in front the other becomes a new exercise in caution. When a vicious heatwave forces her to pause her expedition and gives her an opportunity to investigate the new limitations of her body, Jenn is confronted with a life-altering diagnosis - and a new path of self-discovery.

Jenna will read from her book, answer questions and sign copies.

7PM on Thurs 24th July at Wave of Nostalgia, 74 Main Street, Haworth BD22 8DP and on Zoom
