Thanks, Martin - my old friend Alfred Williams!
Owen - the book is FROM JOHN O'GROATS TO LAND'S END by Robert Naylor & John Naylor. It's in the Gutenberg list. I downloaded it to try out Calibre and my new Sony eBook Reader. I'm now 200 pages in - less than 1/3. It's well written (in 1870s style) and describes in detail a 9-week walk - no ferries or other transport permitted.
