Example text
Bingley, through the pages of his In North Wales (1814) advised fellow pedestrians to take a guide (he rarely did so), to make an early start (around five or six o’clock in the morning), and to stop frequently to admire the scenery. ’ Leaving aside the phrase book, the walker, nevertheless, should take a sufficient supply of food: Bingley carried his in an eighteenth-century version of 62 the bum-bag, a basket strapped around his waist. ’ Rev’d Warner was also anxious to be properly equipped for his walk.
The beast turned out to be ‘more plague than profit’ and the pony was sold. Thus equipped, but with the added weight of notebooks and pencils, the three men of God struck out for the Welsh hills, Warner in 1797, Bingley and Williams in 1798. Bingley, then resident in Cambridge, had, he said, made ‘several tours through nearly all the 63 romantic parts of the North of England’ (‘the Lakes of the north’ had been a particular disappointment), but North Wales was quite perfect for ‘the traveller of taste, the naturalist and the antiquary’ especially in the ‘romantic country of North Wales, namely Denbighshire, Caernarvonshire, Meironethshire and Anglesea’.
Lithgow walked on, crossing Greece and travelling down through the Middle East into Jerusalem where he joins company with three Dutch men. Apparently they had been drinking too much ‘strong Cyprus wine without mixture of water’ and, one by one, they fall terminally ill. Each on his death bed generously bequeathed him their personal fortunes making our hero richer by some 942 gold zechins and rings and ‘tablets’. Lithgow finally returned to England after walking through Cairo, Alexandria, Malta, Italy and France.
