In 1841, the poet John Clare escaped from High Beach Asylum in Epping Forest and, heading towards his home in Northborough, covered 80 miles. He was searching for his lost love - a woman already three years dead. Iain Sinclair sets out to recreate Clare's walk away from madness and to explore his own obsession with the poet.
