Some of you might remember the old boy that used to wander the A14 from end to end, he did this for so many years, I couldn’t put a number on it.
Anyway, I was thinking the other day that I haven’t seen him for a while and i was wondering if any of you chaps out there know where he is or what’s happened to his wandering?
Is that the white haired older chap you used to see wandering around near Thrapston sometimes, always looked happy enough in his life though it can’t have been easy.
Haven’t seen him for ages.

Take it you mean the old fella in the scruffy hi-viz jacket, and beard, I’ve seen him near Stamford, Bedford and baldock, haven’t seen him for a while, he just appears, see him for a week then “pouff” he’s gone.

Yes, that’s the 1. I only ever saw him on the A14.

Yes, that’s the chap. He had a couple of tents along the A14 that he used to sleep in.
I saw him about a month ago on the A15 just north of Bourne , like previously stated i also have seen him all over the place A11 ,A47 , various places on the A14 , think one of the first places i saw him was on the A43 near Silverstone that must have been at least 14 years ago ,
When i ve seen him i often wondered the circumstances led to that life , & how he decided where to walk to …
Must have been a tough existence through the winters though…
When I started driving in the 60s, there was an old boy, quite famous at the time, who worked his way up and down the A1. Of course, there were no motorways then and you would see him trudging along on the right-hand side of the road, pushing an old pram full of stuff.
He used to head North in the summer and then back down South in the winter.
