Roy Bayfield has appeared in a list of "exemplary ambulatory explorers", is well known for his explorations of the notorious Argleton (a Google Maps un-town), and is one of the small group of contemporary walker-writers who are stepping out beyond the work of W.G. Sebald, Will Self and Iain Sinclair. His previous publications include a story in the seminal anthology Britpulp!, a chapter in the defining work on the new psychogeography, Tina Richardson's 'Walking Inside Out', and a poetry collection, 'Bypass Pilgrim'.
